What is DENIZEN?

DENIZEN™ is an astute destination jewelry with a sense of place sought-after by travelers of all ages, seduced by its genderless and timeless designs which make it a popular collectible memento. More than a souvenir, DENIZEN™ creates ”Unforgettable Travel Memories” and triggers emotions of nostalgia of the mother land, or national pride.

International by nature, universal by meaning, DENIZEN™ embodies the passion of travel, one destination at a time, all around the world, from the largest nations to the most remote specks in exotic oceans.

 

Our journey

The DENIZEN™  brand celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2024. 4 decades of creating "Unforgettable Travel Memories" with a meaningful sense of place.

It has been a brilliant idea from the start, an imaginative vision owed to serendipity. During a star-gazing session in October 1984 on the island of St Barts, the stunning planet Saturn appeared in the telescope of one of the founders . There laid the celestial inspiration: Saturn’s rings circling the planet’s blurry surface like a polished silver disc. And so was born the DENIZEN Bracelet ® :  a subtle cut-out map or symbol of a particular destination in an eye-catching, high-polished medallion, for each traveler to reminisce precious memories of their journeys.

French by birth and international by ‘berth’, the DENIZEN Bracelet™ rapidly spread through the Caribbean islands with its first collection aptly named “Voyage”. This timeless collection still is our bestseller.

From our classic ‘Pure’ design made of Sterling Silver, we expanded into various styles and distinctive collections of bracelets, pendants, earrings, and charms also offered i n 14-18kt Gold.

In 2015, we developed our stainless-steel line for the global duty-free markets demanding grab-and-go prices and easy-to-wear pieces. In 2023, we launched our charm collections, “Cruiselink” and “Passport”, especially suited for cruise and ferry lines as well as airports, collectible at every stop of travelers’ journey .
