Gerard Rene was founded by Valdine Henrius-Whitter.
Raised in Brooklyn, New York City, Valdine’s journey into the world of jewelry and design began at a young age. As a young girl, she found joy and inspiration in the intricate details of her mother’s jewelry pieces and the stories they held. Throughout the years, she immersed herself in the artistry of jewelry making and has found immense fulfillment in designing unique and personalized pieces for herself, her loved ones and her clients.
Gerard Rene is Valdine’s heartfelt tribute to her grandfather’s legacy and a manifestation of her dedication to creating exquisite and timeless jewelry pieces that evoke beauty, elegance, and individuality.
A hardworking man, a devoted husband and a doting father from Jeremie, Haiti - Gerard Rene was a man who spoiled his wife and children with everything he had - catering to each individual's unique needs and personalities.
The Gerard Rene brand upholds the idea that every woman deserves to be adorned and treated with nothing but the best. Each handcrafted ring is one of a kind and made with special attention to make the wearer look and feel exceptional and distinguished.
