We’re delighted to introduce the newest designer to join our curated edit at The Loupe: Bibi van der Velden. A Dutch sculptor-turned-jeweler, Bibi’s pieces are as whimsical as they are wearable—fine jewelry that sparks conversation, invites play, and defies expectation.
Drawing from the natural world, mythology, and a deep love for storytelling, Bibi creates miniature sculptures using 18k gold, vibrant enamel, and sustainable materials like mammoth ivory and beetle wings. Her work blends the fantastical with the refined—think prehistoric meets pop art.

Our curated selection celebrates some of Bibi’s most iconic motifs, reimagined in everyday-ready forms:
Alligator Pop Art Bite Earring (Single)
This one’s got bite. A golden alligator chomp is frozen mid-movement, merging Bibi’s sculptural sensibility with a dash of irreverence. It’s bold, unexpected, and totally addictive.
Alligator Yellow Gold Pinky Ring
Small but mighty—this golden gator wraps its tail around your pinky with attitude and elegance. A standout statement in miniature scale.
Mini Scarab Green Enamel Fly Wings Studs
Delicately detailed with vivid green enamel and set in yellow gold, these scarab studs nod to ancient Egyptian symbolism with a playful, modern energy.
Scarab Gold Stackable Ring
A golden ode to transformation and rebirth, this ring is equal parts talisman and treasure. Designed to stack, but striking solo.
Jewelry That Tells a Story
Bibi van der Velden’s work is a celebration of contrasts—precious yet provocative, mythical yet modern. She invites us to think differently about what jewelry can be: not just adornment, but expression.
Every piece is ethically made and rooted in craftsmanship. And every design comes with a wink.
