Sophie Bille Brahe
Danish fine jeweler Sophie Bille Brahe distills the minimalist tradition of Scandinavian design into the timeless jewelry that has earned her a reputation as the queen of modern pearls.
Rooted in a culture of storytelling and clean design, Sophie Bille Brahe's collections conjure up dreamscapes of carefully graduated pearls and glinting diamonds, in settings that vanish into the background, keeping the focus firmly on the stones themselves. From an historic Danish family descended from a pioneering astronomer, her work is deeply inspired by the night sky, the stars and the moon that find their expression in her elegant jewels.
In conversation with Sophie Bille Brahe
To what extent do you think the style of your brand reflects Danish design principles?
Sophie Bille Brahe is about modern classics and understated luxury, it’s both poetic and sophisticated. I think the way I create jewelry is much more about taking away things than adding. How simply can you show a pearl? How cleanly can you show a diamond? I don’t feel a setting should ever take the focus away from the material, unless it’s part of the story that I want to tell. I love clean lines and the fact that each piece tells its own story.
