Stones

At the heart of every Berlenga bracelet is the stone itself. We source authentic, high-quality natural stones, each hand-selected for its unique beauty, vibrant color, and powerful energy. From the grounding calm of Black Onyx to the clear focus of Tiger's Eye, our stones are more than just materials—they are a direct connection to the earth's raw beauty. Because each stone is a product of nature, no two bracelets are ever exactly alike, making your piece a truly one-of-a-kind treasure.

 

Our Story

For Mike, this fascination began in childhood, when his father brought him a raw crystal of clear quartz from a business trip. That simple gift became a lifelong treasure, sparking a curiosity that never faded.

Elena, on the other hand, has an innate sense of beauty and balance. Her eye for design and love of elegance naturally drew her to jewelry, especially pieces that carry the essence of nature.

Together, their shared passion for nature and artistry grew into something more — a way to create jewelry that connects people to the earth and to themselves

How it Started

The story began on a quiet day along Portugal’s Silver Coast. After exploring a breathtaking cave, Elena sat by the shore, gazing at the distant Berlengas Islands as the sun danced on the waves. In that serene moment, inspiration struck — she envisioned a bracelet made from natural stone beads, capturing the beauty and energy of the landscape around her.

What started as a heartfelt gesture — creating personalised bracelets for friends — soon grew beyond her circle. Friends of friends began asking where they could find these unique pieces, and Elena realised her passion resonated with others. From that spark, a brand was born.

Our Inspiration

Our inspiration flows from the untamed beauty of nature — from the rhythm of the ocean waves and the whisper of eucalyptus and oak forests, to the strength of rocky mountains and the serenity of emerald valleys kissed by waterfalls. 

We are moved by the dance of the wind across the cliffs and the shifting sands of sunlit dunes, where earth, air, and water meet in perfect harmony. Each of these natural forces carries an immense, timeless energy — the same energy we strive to capture in every piece we create. 

Our designs are born from this connection to nature’s power, meant to be worn, loved, and infused with your own spirit. Over time, they become more than adornments — they become keepsakes of your journey, treasures to be passed down, carrying both the strength of the earth and the story of you.

Our philosophy

We believe in the power of beauty, the strength of love, and the endless energy of nature. 

Each of us is connected to the earth in a unique way, and certain stones seem to resonate with our spirit — offering balance, confidence, and renewal. When you find a stone that speaks to you, you feel it instantly — in its texture, its color, it's quiet vibration.

Natural stones hold a timeless wisdom. They existed long before us and will endure long after, carrying within them the memory and energy of the earth itself. For centuries, people have turned to these stones for healing, protection, and strength — trusting in their ability to restore harmony and inspire inner peace. 

We continue this ancient tradition, creating jewelry that channels the natural power of stones and transforms it into something personal, meaningful, and everlasting.

Personalization

Each bracelet we create is a reflection of nature’s artistry — no two are ever the same. 

Handcrafted with care in Portugal, every piece carries the gentle touch of human hands and the raw beauty of the earth. 

For those who seek deeper meaning, our personalised designs allow you to weave your own story into every stone. Choose gemstones aligned with your birth date or zodiac sign to amplify the energies you wish to nurture and grow. 

Whether you’re marking an anniversary, celebrating a birthday, or simply honouring a special connection, a personalised bracelet becomes more than a gift — it becomes a symbol of your shared journey. 

With our bespoke service, you can curate a one-of-a-kind bracelet where each stone represents a moment, a feeling, a memory — a timeless keepsake that evolves with you.

Materials

We believe that the beauty of a bracelet begins with the quality and integrity of its materials. 

That’s why we select only genuine, high-grade gemstones chosen for their natural color, clarity, and energetic properties. Each stone is unique, with subtle variations that make every piece truly one of a kind. Our gemstones are responsibly sourced, ensuring ethical practices that respect both the environment and the communities involved in their extraction. 

To complement these stones, we use premium cords that are both strong and comfortable, designed to withstand everyday wear while maintaining their softness and flexibility. These cords are carefully woven or knotted by hand to create a secure, elegant finish that enhances the natural beauty of the gemstones. 

By combining the timeless allure of natural stones with durable, thoughtfully chosen materials, we craft bracelets that not only look and feel luxurious but are made to last—sustainably and with purpose

Sustainability

We believe jewelry should be as kind to the planet as it is beautiful to wear. 

Our sustainable pieces are handcrafted in Portugal using ethically sourced gemstones and durable cords, designed to last while leaving a minimal footprint. 

Each personalized bracelet is created from a wide variety of gemstones and thoughtful combinations, offering endless possibilities for self-expression. Inspired by nature—the world’s most powerful self-sustaining system—we honor its balance by using recycled and recyclable materials and ensuring our production creates no by-products or unnecessary waste. Every detail, from material selection to packaging, reflects our dedication to mindful craftsmanship and environmental responsibility. 

We’re here to turn jewelry into meaningful, everyday moments while driving positive change in our communities and beyond. Because doing things the right way allows us to create pieces we’re proud of—and that our customers can feel truly good about wearing.
