About Us
Hidden in the depths of Southern Mexico, concealed amidst a vast landscape of magnificent mountains, dense green jungles and cascading waterfalls rises one of the most impressive archaeological sites, Palenque.
"The ancient Mayan site of Palenque holds special significance for us, as it was one of the first places we visited when we met in Mexico in 1991. To this day, it’s a source of inspiration in our designs” David and Susana Heard - Founders
In 1992, fresh out of university, we opened our first store on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, establishing Palenque as an independent jewellery brand.
Over the years, our independence has allowed us to keep a personal touch in every lovingly designed collection. All our jewellery is ethically sourced, sustainable, and hand-crafted in 925 sterling silver, known for its quality and durability.
We have built long-lasting relationships with our skilled artisans in Mexico, who use traditional techniques with minimal wastage and energy consumption, recycling and reusing as much as possible, to create authentic pieces you’ll treasure forever.
