through me not by me
Handmade gemstone jewellery from Rīga.
The Maker
I'm Ilona, the maker behind BE.E GEM.
Creating each piece is a sacred process for me. I don't experience it as just another object. Each one has its own essence, its own meaning, and its own purpose in the world.
My role is simple: to create the piece, reveal its essence, and bring it into the world. Then someone can find it and feel that instant click — “Yes. I want this in my life. I choose this.”
In that moment, the piece becomes a conscious choice.
Through me, not by me
I didn't arrive at this overnight.
Before BE.E GEM, there were decades of inner work — practice, not theory. Teachers, retreats, and years devoted to understanding myself more deeply. I am not the same person I was twenty years ago.
Then, in March 2026, I encountered a rarely taught practice connected to the Earth Star Chakra. Through it, I experienced a direct connection to the Earth’s core - Crystallix. That connection changed everything.
That connection changed me. Completely.
And with it came a new relationship with stones. I didn't build a jewellery brand because I became interested in crystals. I built BE.E GEM because I could receive the essence of a finished piece and know what it was. Jewellery became the form that lets that essence enter the world.

ONE MAKER. ONE TABLE.
Every piece begins in Rīga at my table - and leaves with the essence it carries written by hand.
