My Story

I've always had a passion for antique jewelry: the history, the craftsmanship, and the feeling of holding something that has lived far longer than I have. What began as a personal fascination gradually became what I do today: searching for remarkable pieces and finding the right people to appreciate them.

Based in Antwerp, Belgium, the historic heart of the diamond trade, Henri Simon Antiques specialises in antique jewellery and old-cut diamonds. With more than twenty years of experience in the diamond trade, I bring a professional eye to every piece I acquire.  My particular passion lies in old European cut diamonds, old mine cut diamonds and antique engagement rings, chosen for their beauty, craftsmanship and historical character.

I am drawn to jewels that spark my curiosity: Belle Époque elegance, Art Nouveau refinement, Art Deco geometry, and pieces with a story to tell. Every item in the collection is selected personally, with great enthusiasm and a critical eye. For me, antique jewelry is more than beautiful; it is history you can wear.

If you're drawn to authentic, well-crafted pieces with history and soul, you're in the right place.

Each piece in the collection has been chosen for its beauty, craftsmanship, and character. I hope you enjoy discovering them as much as I enjoyed finding them.

You're welcome to follow me on Instagram, and if you ever have a question or simply wish to chat about a piece, feel free to contact me directly on WhatsApp. You'll find the links below.
