The Story of Palenque Jewellery
Located at 86 Rose Street in the pedestrianized shopping heart of the New Town, Palenque Jewellery is a celebrated independent British boutique known for its striking, hand-wrought sterling silver creations. Founded in 1992, the brand was inspired by the ancient Mayan archaeological sanctuary of Palenque, fusing dramatic organic forms and architectural geometry with modern European silversmithing.
The Rose Street boutique is bright and inviting, showcasing display cases filled with tactile, sculptural jewellery designed to be worn effortlessly every day. Each collection is hand-fabricated from solid 925 sterling silver, frequently accented with luminous semi-precious gemstones such as Mexican blue topaz, labradorite, Baltic amber, rainbow moonstone, and deep turquoise.
Palenque is particularly celebrated for its fluid cuffs, textured silver drop earrings, and statement rings that showcase the natural hammer-marks and hand-burnished finishes of master silversmiths. With an emphasis on fair-trade artisanal workshops and approachable pricing, Palenque offers an uplifting jewellery shopping experience.
