Bigli – exquisite jewelry with magnificent colored gemstones
The premium brand Bigli tells a special success story. Fine jewelry in Italian design - designed by the Belgian designer duo Laurence and Thierry Spitaels. In 1997, the couple founded the jewelry label Bigli with the aim of creating elegant, lively everyday jewelry full of joie de vivre. They want to capture special moments in life with their extraordinary, luxurious unique pieces. The feminine pieces of jewelry with colorful gemstones or diamonds delight every woman.
The founders of Bigli: Laurence & Thierry Spitaels
Traditional craftsmanship combined with unobtrusive design characterizes Bigli's collections. The jewelry pieces made of yellow gold, rose gold or white gold, set with dazzling gemstones or diamonds, bear the Italian signature of the Belgian designer couple. Special compositions of stones give the rings, earrings and necklaces from Bigli their unique touch. The colorful cabochon-cut stones sit elegantly on the ring band, hang impressively on the necklace or luxuriously decorate the ear.
These gems owe their unique character to an old Italian craftsmanship technique. The setting of the jewelry always consists of several gemstones that are layered on top of each other, which gives them fascinating color effects. Thanks to the perfect execution, the different layers form a unit, virtually forming a new gemstone. This layering technique requires gemstone specialists to be extremely precise in their work. The rounded colored stones impress with their graceful, balanced shapes. With their unusual two- or three-layer stone arrangements, the designer couple Terry and Laurence Spitaels showcase the “new” colored gemstones with their surprising shades in an absolutely stylish way.

With their silky surface, the stones appear partly milky, partly almost transparent. The smooth finish of the high-quality materials ensures pleasant feelings and turns the rings, earrings and necklaces into sensual jewelry - exclusive and beautiful at the same time.
The impressive play of colors in the collections includes 50 different color variants. The wonderful creations have an extraordinary finesse thanks to their understated simplicity.
Selected colored stones from Bigli
Colors have a positive effect on people's mental lives. In combination with valuable materials, this effect is increased. Who doesn't like to be enchanted by a fantastic colored gemstone combined with diamonds and gold? The collections are full of joy of life, the premium jewelry sweetens the gray everyday life with its unique wealth of colors.
The graceful coloring owes its appearance to the perfect union of two or more materials. For example, on a plate made of white mother-of-pearl lies a green agate, crowned by a rock crystal. This gives the stone creation an almost turquoise touch. Or a jadeite on white mother-of-pearl gives a lively color to a rutilated quartz above it, an amethyst with lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl create a strong purple hue, or a lemon quartz combined with a green aventurine on an underlying mother-of-pearl creates a jewel in shimmering green. This makes each individual gemstone something very special that sets it apart from the appearance of natural stones.

Mini Sweety is Bigli's flagship collection. Rings, necklaces and earrings from the luxury jewelry manufacturer complement each other perfectly. Rubies, amethysts, rose quartz, rutile quartz, aquamarine, milky quartz, topazes and moonstones determine the creations. Glittering diamonds set specific accents. Combinations of milky quartz with onyx in conjunction with rose gold or blue topaz with mother-of-pearl and turquoise underneath skilfully play off the color card.
Rings from the Mini Sweety collection
Combining several rings from the Mini Sweety collection creates wonderful color arrangements. Whether in harmony or as a contrast, the mini sweety rings on the finger turn out to be real eye-catchers. Complemented by the matching necklaces and earrings, the jewelry sets demonstrate a casual way of life. The credo of Bigli owners Thierry and Laurence Spitaels is to produce luxurious jewelry for every day, a claim that the couple undoubtedly succeeded in achieving with their Mini Sweety collection.
Bigli – jewelry for special moments
Jewelry pays homage to special moments in life, and the Belgian designer couple Spitaels creates their collections with this in mind. The birth of their first granddaughter Milla was a unique, unforgettable moment for the designer couple. In 2012 they launched the collection of the same name. Like the granddaughter, the Milla jewelry range is gentle, sensitive and romantic. For the birth of Lilly, Terry and Laurence launched the Lilly Bloom collection. The granddaughter receives the prototype of the large Lilly Bloom rutile quartz ring for her 18th birthday. The pieces of jewelry are like Lilly herself: exuberant, cheerful, glamorous and bold. The Chloé collection comes from the zeitgeist of the 70s, Laurence's own youth. She tells the story about mothers and their daughters. She dedicated the series to her youngest daughter Chloé and the Nicki collection is considered an ode to her own mother.
