About Saint Bones
Over a decade of swimming against the stream
Meet Saint Bones – a relatively small yet ambitious independent watchmaking and jewelry brand, founded in 2017 and based in Vienna, Austria. Much like Vienna itself, Saint Bones is a true melting pot for daring ideas, unconventional designs, and rich cultural heritage brought by an exceptionally talented international team of designers and craftsmen from all over the world. Our diversity is our treasure, guarded by the values we share:
Freedom. It is the key and most important value we want to express through our designs, ideas, and business practices. So often misused and manipulated, true freedom tolerates no restraints. No matter what happens, we appreciate every aspect of your freedom just like we appreciate and cherish our own. With no strings attached, with no frameworks, and no exceptions.
Genuineness. No matter if it is a unique piece commissioned through our atelier division or a series production piece, we strive to ensure that each creation is genuinely unique. Over the years, we have proven to be experts in breaking the molds: unconventional designs, rare and sophisticated materials, avant-garde manufacturing, state-of-the-art craftsmanship, that’s where we feel at home.
Integrity. We at Saint Bones do not offer watches, jewelry, precious metals, or gemstones. What we offer is genuine emotion, the notable moments of joy and gratefulness that you repeatedly experience while wearing a piece of jewelry made by Saint Bones. That is why integrity and quality are essential to Saint Bones, all day, every day.
The history of Saint Bones dates back to 2013, when a couple of friends who were avid design enthusiasts and purveyors of unconventional art decided to try something new. Originating from the interior and furniture design industry, they began exploring possible combinations of new cutting-edge digital technologies and traditional art techniques to create unique jewelry and high-end accessories. Profoundly integrated into the motorcycling community, the partners defined the original DNA of the brand as highly eclectic, hardcore, dark, and complicated jewelry and accessories for charismatic men.
In 2015, the team dared to reinvent the concept of watch customization. The brand’s artisans had the nerve to challenge the most sacred watchmaking canons, reinventing watch case customization and reimagining the entire concept of a bespoke watch bracelet. The groundbreaking approach treated every surface of the case, each link of the bracelet, and each part that makes up a watch as a canvas with limitless decorative opportunities. The customers were absolutely stunned. The team was now a small yet very proud independent atelier.
Eventually, in 2017, the atelier became a full-time venture for the founding members and evolved into an independent brand. Inspired and driven by a shared passion, the team began meticulous work on a brand-new collection that would accurately express the developing DNA of Saint Bones. It took nearly eight months to create an outstanding collection of sterling silver jewelry and unique accessories, heavily influenced by early Gothic motifs, openwork ornaments, and architecture. Saint Bones was born.
DNA of Saint Bones - Over its nearly 10-year-long journey, Saint Bones has evolved from a dark and rather radical biker-oriented sanctuary into an offbeat jewelry & watch atelier focused on avant-garde and neo-Art Deco designs, contemporary materials, complex geometries, and openwork ornaments inspired by French Gothic architecture. Saint Bones is looking for a perfect fusion of the most contemporary technologies with thousands-of-years-old traditional craftsmanship to bring the most daring ideas to life.
Always In Opposition - We strongly believe that you can only create true art when you love what you do and when you are not trying to create just to be loved. That is why we at Saint Bones do not follow fast fashion trends and do not chase our customers’ attention at all costs. Genuine art will find its viewer; genuine appreciation takes time to build up.
In-house Design - Genuine art comes from genuine creativity. All Saint Bones designs are conceived, developed, and realized strictly in-house, with inspiration coming from within. No piece and no part of the design or idea was or ever will be outsourced. This is Saint Bones DNA.
Handcrafted in Vienna - Over the years of trial and error, we learned that there is no better way to transform ideas into reality with great precision than doing it on your own. That is why, as of 2025, each and every piece offered by Saint Bones is handcrafted in Vienna, Austria, at our very own workshop. No matter what it is — a tiny, delicate earring or a complex 170-part bracelet — it will be made by hand in Vienna.
Limited Edition by Nature - The nature of Saint Bones designs and philosophy, in combination with naturally limited production capacity and a peculiar approach to quality, makes every piece special. We rarely use the wording ‘limited edition’ because every ring, every pendant, every watch — it’s all genuinely small series. Beautiful things are always rare and special.
The core of Saint Bones’ identity and the most significant part of the brand’s DNA — three growing collections of truly unique watches that comprise the Archetypes of Time. Very niche, remarkably detailed, and crafted with passion and precision, Saint Bones timepieces represent so much of what we believe in. From sterling silver and gold to titanium and forged carbon fiber, fused with high-end Swiss watchmaking and daring designs.
From the refined Leger Openwork collection, which is inspired by exquisite tracery ornaments found on medieval French Gothic churches, to the detailed and avid Elements collection reimagining centuries-old Asian traditional art, to bold Skulls n Roses rings and pendants with Saint Bones’ signature bas-relief patterns. Made exclusively in 18k gold or 950 platinum and set with natural gemstones only. Made to amaze.
The nature of Saint Bones’ in-house design and extensive experience in bespoke projects and sourcing rare gemstones open unique opportunities to our loyal customers. We can customize our existing designs — each and every element of them — or create a piece of any complexity from scratch: from an Art Deco–inspired engagement ring to a platinum cocktail ring with a 14-carat emerald, from a set of diamond earrings to a fully bespoke watch in sterling silver and titanium.
We are proud to offer a limited selection of both daring jewelry pieces and complex accessories & design objects in sterling 925 silver — a material that is widely misunderstood and clearly underappreciated, yet allows us to bring the craziest ideas to life. From the best-selling Elements Karyu dragon ring to piece-unique home accessories crafted from natural lapis lazuli and 600 grams of silver, every piece is crafted with the same precision and passion as haute jewelry pieces are.
