ABOUT V.BELLAN
OF THE MOMENT. BEYOND THE MOMENT.
Founded in New York in 2020 by designer Vanessa Bellan, V.BELLAN is a contemporary jewelry design house rooted in personal expression and the balance between classic and cool.
Our approach brings a little edge to familiar shapes, combining clean lines, unexpected details, and effortless wearability. From personalized fine jewelry to bold, sculptural statements, each collection is designed to feel distinctive yet easy to make your own.
The story of V.BELLAN began with something deeply personal. Inspired by the memory of founder Vanessa's late daughter, the brand was born from a desire to create jewelry that carries meaning beyond the moment. What began with personalized pieces celebrating names, connections, and memories has evolved into a broader exploration of design, individuality, and personal style.
Today, V.BELLAN moves between fine jewelry and contemporary fashion collections, exploring everything from precious metals, diamonds, and pearls to sculptural forms in brass and sterling silver. Some pieces are subtle and sentimental. Others are bold and unapologetic. All share a common philosophy: jewelry should feel as natural to wear every day as it does for an occasion.
We believe the best pieces become part of your personal style. The finishing touch you find yourself reaching for again and again.
Made for living. Worth keeping.
about the designer
Vanessa Bellan is a Haitian-American jewelry designer with a career spanning since 2011. Over the years, she has worked on jewelry teams for designers, production houses, and also served as a consultant to emerging and established designers.
Her connection with jewelry has roots in her earliest memories, when she crafted beaded earrings and necklaces as a young girl, selling them at family yard sales in Massachusetts. As a professional in the jewelry industry, she began crafting her own personal pieces, which quickly garnered attention from friends and strangers. This led her to explore custom orders for clients alongside her other endeavors.
In 2015, Vanessa took a significant step by launching her first capsule collection, "Enteresant," which was a compilation of the pieces she had created for herself over the years. These designs showcased her passion for minimalistic, clean, yet edgy aesthetics that could effortlessly complement everyday wear.
The year 2019 brought a profound personal loss, as she grieved the passing of her daughter. To channel her emotions, she turned to her craft, envisioning pieces that her daughter might have cherished on her life's journey. This transformative process culminated in the re-launch of her business in 2020, now known as V.BELLAN, commemorating what would have been her daughter's first birthday.
