The story of SAGESS

“Each piece of Sagess jewellery is inspired by a story, a moment, a stone;

Created with passion and love.”

Since the dawn of humanity, humankind has adorned itself with stones, shells and sculpted wood —each carrying the creative energy of Mother Earth.

From all continents and civilizations, these powerful talismans, born of ever-present mystical superstition, protect those who wear them. They ward off spells and jealousy, attract love, luck, and fortune, bring strength, power, and vitality, and illuminate visions and dreams. Drawing on the invisible mineral energy, these stones appease torments and offer solace.

Sagess embodies the essence of these ancient legends. We carefully select and cut stones, setting them into luxury jewellery crafted according to your desires, needs, and budget. Our unique gemstones and precious jewellery are designed to be passed down from generation to generation, cherished for their emotional and material value—each piece a memory of a moment, a person, or a vow.

The magic of this ancestral belief will reveal to you the immense hidden secrets of gemstones, from the rarest to the most common. At Sagess, we create for you a universe steeped in tradition, wisdom, and knowledge, offering a private and unique service rooted in centuries of expertise.

Located in Antwerp, the heart of the diamond trade for over five centuries, Sagess combines unparalleled craftsmanship and know-how. We guide you in choosing the perfect stone, metals, and design, leveraging our extensive network of first-source connections to satisfy a discerning clientele.




Ethical Sourcing at Sagess





Antwerp, the capital city of Flanders in the north of Belgium, is where 84% of the world’s mined diamonds are processed. Recognizing the significance of the diamond trade, the Belgian government established the Diamond Office in 1945 to promote and protect both the diamond industry and its customers.

"Every diamond arriving in Antwerp passes through the Diamond Office, accompanied by a Kimberley Process Certificate, ensuring that they are conflict-free and ethically sourced."

At Sagess, we are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards. We ensure that all our diamonds and precious stones adhere to these strict regulations, giving our clients peace of mind that their jewelry not only represents beauty and luxury but also responsibility and integrity.

Sophie deheinzelinGraduated gemologist, certified diamond grader  1998 in Antwerp, Belgium“After years in the diamond industry, I felt the desire to advocate the experienced and talented craftsmanship of Antwerp’s best goldsmiths by creating jewellery that combines  beauty, energy with elegance in each piece. “

Sophie Deheinzelin

Founder of Sagess

As an expert gemmologist and certified diamond grader, my journey began in 1997 in Antwerp, Belgium—the heartbeat of the diamond world. Yet, my passion for jewelry was ignited long before, during my childhood in Ivory Coast, Africa. The vibrant and finely crafted gold jewelry worn by African women told stories that fascinated me, each piece a reflection of their heritage and strength.

My deep love for gemstones and jewelry has taken me across the globe, immersing myself in diverse cultures and always seeking the beauty and significance of precious stones. For over 30 years, Antwerp has been not only my home but the canvas where my expertise in high jewelry and gemology has flourished.

Through Sagess, I have blended my gemmological expertise with a deep sense of artistry, and even spirituality, intertwining jewelry creation with the mindfulness of yoga. This holistic approach allows me to craft bespoke luxury jewelry that resonates with the soul and reflects the unique journey of each client.

Today, I invite you to share in this passion. Whether you visit me in my private Antwerp atelier or connect virtually, together we will create a one-of-a-kind jewelry piece that tells your story, capturing the essence of who you are.

Inspired by her, I’ve chosen to follow in her footsteps, bringing my own modern and creative touch to the world of design.

Now based in Dubai, I manage client relations for Sagess in this dynamic and vibrant city, ensuring that our tradition of excellence reaches new horizons. Together with my mother, we create a harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary style that is close to our hearts—crafting bespoke luxury jewelry and designs that resonate with those who seek elegance and innovation.
