The VEILHINGE Founders Club: How the First 100 Helped Shape the Brand
The VEILHINGE Founders Club was created during the brand's earliest days to recognize the first 100 customers who supported the work. A record of how the brand began — and the people who were there first.

VEILHINGE Editorial — Brand History — First 100 Supporters
Every object carries the moment it was chosen. The Founders Club was created during VEILHINGE’s earliest days to recognize the first customers who supported the brand — people who found the work before it had an audience, and decided it was worth carrying.
VEILHINGE designs symbolic jewelry shaped by history, form and meaning — rings, pendants and coin pieces built around symbolism, sculptural form and historical references. The Founders Club was a way of acknowledging the people who were there at the beginning, when the collection was still taking shape.
Why the Founders Club Existed
Every brand begins somewhere. For VEILHINGE, it began with a small group of people who chose to support the work before it was widely known. The Founders Club was created to honor that — not as a marketing mechanism, but as a genuine acknowledgment of early trust.
The first 100 customers were not just buyers. They were the first people to carry VEILHINGE pieces into the world — to wear them, photograph them, and show what the jewelry looked like in real life. That kind of early evidence matters more than any campaign.
The Founders Club is now closed. The 100 spots were filled.
What Founders Received
Founder’s Discount — A permanent, never-expiring 5% discount code applied to every future purchase. Issued once, held for life.
Complimentary Worldwide Shipping — Founders received free delivery on all future orders, for life, regardless of location.
The Numbered Founders Card — A collectible, individually numbered card included in the first parcel. Each bore a unique number from 1 to 100. No more were made.
Dedicated Support — Founders received priority handling for all inquiries — sizing, orders, and requests — throughout the early period of the brand.
The Collection That Came With It
The pieces that launched with the Founders Club remain part of the collection today — the Crying Tear Eye Ring, the Skull & Skeleton Collection, and the Demon Eye Articulated Ring. Each was designed around a specific symbolic idea: the eye as witness, the skull as reminder, the articulated form as transformation.
VEILHINGE continues to build from the same foundation — symbolic jewelry shaped by history, form and meaning. The Founders Club was the beginning of that record.
