ABOUT
Established in Amsterdam, BERKE is a private high jewelry house creating a limited number of one-of-a-kind pieces each year.
​
Founded by Berke Henny, the house is built on a foundation of traditional goldsmithing. After studying at the Goldsmithing School in Schoonhoven and refining her craft under a Royal court jeweller, she continued working on private commissions, developing her own direction alongside her atelier practice.
​
“BERKE has always existed in some form. Over time, it has slowly grown into what it is today.”
​
BERKE operates by private appointment only. Each year, a small number of pieces are created, either as singular works or through bespoke commissions, forming an exclusive collection defined by rarity and individuality.
​
Craft, creativity and human touch remain at the core of BERKE.
BERKE HENNY
I was raised in an unconventional way, living on an antique ship my father restored. Surrounded by water, quiet and nature, this environment shaped the way I see the world today.
​
From a young age, creativity came naturally. I was drawn to making, to materials, and to the subtle details found in nature.
​
After completing four years of goldsmithing training, I continued working at my internship with a Royal court jeweller. There, I developed a deeper understanding of craftsmanship and precision.
​
​For me, BERKE stands for wearable art made by human hands. From the first sketch to the final piece, including the custom-made boxes, every element is shaped through a manual process by very skilled artisans.
​
Creating a piece takes time. Finding the right stones, selecting the right materials, and allowing the design to develop naturally are all part of that process. It can take months before a piece is complete.
​
Seeing the final result, brought together by skilled hands, remains a special moment every time.
