About Us

ARTEFACT® was born from a vision to redefine fashion accessories through perceptive design, bespoke production, and meaningful narrative. We are more than just a brand; we are storytellers, inspired by the world- celebrating humanity through our carefully curated product selection. Our design team in London works in sync with our artisanal studio in Bali, who pour their dedication to craft into each piece. While studying at Central Saint Martins on the BA Menswear Fashion program, our founder - Henry Xavier Blakeney, honed his taste, design philosophy, and points of reference to be used for ARTEFACT®'s inception. This laid the foundation for the brand and formed the base of its aesthetic and conceptual direction.

After holding design positions at brands like Hugo Boss, Paria Farzaneh, as well as a collaboration project for Stone Island, he couldn't ignore a pattern he saw in the jewellery sector. Whether in the brands he worked for or those he purchased from, a common trend emerged: a lack of craftsmanship & meaning in the pieces. From this observation, our mission was born: to create meaningful products with uncompromising quality that will accompany you over the course of your life. We honour the natural world and the intricate tapestry of global culture, fusing the past and future through form, and looking to different parts of the world for inspiration.
