The brand

Handmade, one piece at a time

Ru Antique Jewellery makes natural gemstone jewellery for everyday wear. Every piece is made by hand, no design is repeated, and custom orders are welcome.

The store needed to feel like the jewellery: rich, warm and personal, while still making it easy to browse, trust and buy.

The brand and its main categories.

Design system

Gold on charcoal, set in serif

A warm palette lets the stones carry the colour. A decorative mandala motif and a gold logo mark add a crafted feel without competing with the photography.

Collections

Shop by what you wear

The home page leads with a clear promise and two actions, then opens into the three main collections: necklaces, bracelets and earrings. The menu also covers pendants, prayer beads and matching sets.

Products

Let the stones lead

Product photography sits on a clean grid with plenty of space, so colour, texture and detail are the first thing a shopper sees.
