Van Robot is not your typical fine jewellery brand. Designed by Paris-born Tatiana Van Lancker, who grew up in Sydney and spent two decades in London, the brand is now based between Rome and Tuscany—and it’s here, in the goldsmithing heart of Arezzo, that each piece is meticulously made.

The brand’s signature look blends geometric symmetry with a sense of fun: robot-inspired pendants, bold links, and art-deco silhouettes brought to life in 18 karat gold with vivid precious stones. It’s fine jewellery with personality—impeccably crafted, but never stiff or overly formal.

The Founder - Tatiana Van Lancker

From Bijoux-Bots to Bespoke Gold

Van Robot launched in 2020 with its now-iconic Van Robot pendants. These chunky, articulated robot charms became a talking point, offering a new take on fine jewellery: light-hearted, gender-neutral and collectible. Each one can be customised with birthstones or meaningful gems, giving wearers the opportunity to create something personal.

The designs quickly caught the attention of the press, with features in The New York Times, Vogue UK, Vanity Fair, The Times Luxx and Sunday Times Style. That early success helped cement the brand’s reputation for creating luxury pieces that feel contemporary and full of character.

Built in Arezzo, Worn Everywhere

While the designs have a global appeal, their construction is firmly rooted in tradition. Every Van Robot piece is handcrafted in Arezzo, a Tuscan city renowned for goldsmithing since the time of the Etruscans. The atelier that produces the jewellery is family-run, keeping centuries-old techniques alive while embracing Van Robot’s modern edge.

The contrast is part of the brand’s charm. These are not mass-produced trinkets. They’re heirloom-quality jewels — solid, weighty, and made to last. But they’re also fun, wearable and expressive, designed to be worn often and enjoyed every day.

A Joyful Point of View

Tatiana Van Lancker’s creative direction is grounded in irreverence and optimism. “Fine jewellery should feel perennially relevant, not take itself too seriously, and, above all, it should make you smile,” she says.

That sentiment is evident in every piece. Whether it’s a robot pendant set with your child’s birthstone or a one-off commission, Van Robot invites wearers to find joy in detail. Pieces are designed to be mixed, matched and styled in unexpected ways—without ever losing their polish.

A Celestial Turn: The Cosmic Collection

In the Cosmic capsule, Van Robot ventures into galactic territory with dazzling alchemy. The collection spotlights Galaxy Van Robot maxi and Galaxy Heart Van Robot mini pendants, rendered in iridescent Australian opals framed by diamonds, and accentuated with neon and pastel enamels  . The result is a psychedelic yet refined aesthetic—each piece glows with a celestial energy, marrying cosmic symbolism with the brand’s signature structural playfulness. Evoking starry wonder and Art Deco geometry, the collection introduces a joyful, surreal dimension to the Van Robot universe, perfect for wearers seeking a vibrant twist on fine jewellery.

The Jewels Club Verdict

Van Robot offers a refreshing alternative to tradition. Its sculptural gold jewellery is imaginative and engineered to perfection — but it’s the sense of play that makes it so wearable. This is a brand that understands heritage craftsmanship, but also knows when to throw out the rulebook.
