Maanesten was founded in 2010 by jewelry designer Lotte Callesen and creative director Henrik Callesen. From the beginning, our goal has been to create the jewelry we dream about. Maanesten jewelry is not just a collection of sparkling pieces; they are magical tools imbued with powerful stones and crystals, designed to help you connect with the enchanting and spiritual universe where creativity knows no limits.
Rooted in the Copenhagen mentality of innovation and craftsmanship, our brand has grown to become an international beacon of unique design and sustainable practices. Our jewelry is handcrafted in Jaipur, India, by artisans who are treated with the utmost respect and care. They receive three times the minimum wage, along with benefits such as insurance for themselves and their families, a pension plan, dental care, organic food, and paid transportation. Our workshop is LEED certified—the first of its kind in India—and all our production processes are focused on eco-friendly practices. At Maanesten, we strive to connect with our community in meaningful ways, nurturing beauty from the inside out and celebrating the human spirit through our creations. Maanesten is for everyone – and to everyone.
Since 2010, Maanesten has grown to more than 100 employees and over 400 retailers across Scandinavia and Germany. Our headquarters is located at the heart of Copenhagen, where we proudly welcome employees and guests to an inspirational workspace where we create the beautiful universe of our jewelry and accessories.
