Taken Jewellery
Our story

It all started
with a joke..

Before a night out, I joked with my boyfriend that I should put a necklace around his neck with TAKEN written on it, just to make sure everyone got the message.

We laughed about it, forgot about it, laughed about it again and a few months later I surprised him with a bracelet instead.

One side simply read TAKEN. On the other, three meaningful stones represented our story. It wasn't meant to be serious. It was an inside joke turned into something he could wear every day.

Then something unexpected happened. He started wearing it every day, got me one made as well, and talked about it to all our friends. (Not so unexpected when you know him.)

Our friends loved it, wanted one, we made some and TAKEN was born.

A playful way of celebrating love, connection and the people who make life more fun.

TAKEN sits between fine jewellery and fashion jewellery. Strong enough to last, relaxed enough to wear every day. Never flashy. Never overly sentimental. Just meaningful.

The bracelet follows you wherever life takes you. Taken by the sea. Taken for coffee. Taken after midnight. Taken on a Sunday morning. Taken on the move.

The bracelet is never the hero. Life is.

The people behind it

Elodie & Edouard.
The original TAKEN.

TAKEN was founded by Elodie, a jewellery designer, and Edouard, the man who first wore the bracelet and couldn't stop talking about it.

What started as a private joke between two people became something their friends wanted, then something strangers wanted. They made it for their friends, their friends made it for theirs, and somewhere along the way TAKEN became a brand.

The rest, as they say, is a bracelet you never take off.
