Our story

Bastet Jewellery is where myth blooms into modern magic. Born from the spirit of Bastet—the fierce-yet-graceful Egyptian goddess—our pieces are more than adornments: they are tiny talismans of freedom, protection, and the untold power of femininity. Centuries ago, women danced wild beneath the stars at Bastet’s lavish festival, casting off the ordinary for a night of wonder. That same wild joy sparkles in every Bastet creation—each piece is a daring little celebration for today’s dreamers and doers, meant for everyday adventures and secret celebrations alike.

About the Artist

Meet Dina Elkhouly, the hands and heart behind Bastet Jewellery. Born in Egypt, shaped by Lisbon, Dina is an explorer in both craft and soul. Her journey began with quiet wonder amid Cairo’s ancient metalsmiths and flourished across continents, guided by curiosity, colour, and the memories collected from every road taken. With a background in finance traded for the artistry of the bench, Dina brings heritage and spontaneity into dialogue, channelling her Egyptian and Arabic roots into jewellery that surprises, delights, and tells its own offbeat story.

From formal studies at Egypt’s Design Studio by Azza Fahmy to creative leaps in Portugal and Germany, Dina’s path is stitched with learning, adventure, and a stubborn joy for making things that matter. Her work has challenged tradition and charmed collectors at exhibitions in Cairo and Lisbon—each show a new chapter, each creation a fresh spark.

Craftsmanship

Every Bastet piece begins as a daydream, sculpted by hand and transformed through a wild mix of techniques and materials—whatever speaks to the spirit of the moment. No two designs are quite the same, yet all carry traces of the world Dina grew up in: the shimmer of sunlit tiles, the intricacy of ancient ornament, the laughter of festival nights.

Like Bastet herself, our collections are always evolving—stretching for new ideas, spinning tales in silver, gold, and unexpected splashes of colour. The result? Jewellery with a bold wink and a gentle nod to heritage, designed to bring a dash of wonder to modern life.
