Pig & Hen is a jewelry brand from Amsterdam that makes handmade bracelets rooted in Dutch maritime heritage. Marine rope and stainless steel shackles are central to its signature pieces, which draw on traditional nautical materials and craft techniques. Bracelets come in a range of colors, textures and styles, and the brand stresses hand assembly, the quality of its materials and durable construction, blending rope-making influences with modern jewelry design. Its collections suit shoppers looking for casual, nautical-inspired pieces for everyday wear.
The company was started in Amsterdam in 2013. Its name comes from an old sailor tradition of tattooing a pig and a hen on a sailor's feet, which was believed to keep him from drowning. Bracelets are put together by hand rather than on a production line, which is part of why the brand highlights craftsmanship and sturdiness.
The bracelets are sold mainly through the brand's own online store, which serves customers in the United States and elsewhere. Payment can be made with PayPal or Apple Pay. Pig & Hen keeps shoppers posted through Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok, and its newsletter covers new products and offers.
Its products are casual accessories in the nautical style, built around rope and metal fittings rather than precious stones or fine metals.
