The design of the Key of Amsterdam pendant draws inspiration from the original city keys forged in 1806 by Adrianus Bonebakker, founder of the oldest jewellery house in the Netherlands. These ceremonial keys were presented to Napoleon Bonaparte and later to King William I, symbolising the city’s welcome and its sovereignty. Today, Bonebakker revives this legacy through the Key of Amsterdam Collection, blending historical gravitas with modern refinement.
Reimagined with a twist
The pendant’s silhouette echoes the intricate contours of the original keys, reimagined with a contemporary twist. The black diamonds on the front add a bold contrast to the cool sheen of white gold, evoking mystery, power, and elegance. Each piece is handcrafted in Bonebakker’s atelier in Amsterdam, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail.
