A brief history of the brand VEL LEES

It all started with a unique friendship born in a tattoo studio in Rzeszów. Mateusz Wójcik, CEO of a family jewelry business with nearly 40 years of tradition, frequently visited Krystian Wolniak – a enthusiast of esotericism and spiritual science. Although one was involved in jewelry craftsmanship daily, and the other in creating tattoos, they quickly discovered a shared interest in mysticism and ancient knowledge.

Krystian was the first to become fascinated with tensor rings, recognizing their extraordinary energetic potential. He approached Mateusz with the idea of creating jewelry that would combine the spiritual properties of copper with a modern form. Together, they developed a unique clasp, allowing their product to retain the properties of a tensor ring while also being able to be unclasped and worn on the wrist as a bracelet.That was a real breakthrough!

Searching for a name that would capture the spirit of Slavic tradition and emphasize the role of spiritual transformation, Krystian and Mateusz drew inspiration from the figure of Veles – the god of prosperity and secret knowledge. However, they desired something unique, so they combined the motif of Veles with the Latin word „VEL” (meaning „or, choice”) and the English „LEES” (wine sediment symbolizing maturation and transformation). Thus, VEL LEES was born – a name that carries the idea of freedom to choose one's spiritual path and the process of inner development leading to the discovery of true potential.

The brand's offering is based on copper, but for those seeking a more exclusive finish, tensor rings made of silver or goldare also available.Each piece is the result of Mateusz's years of jewelry expertise and Krystian's spiritual passion – the essence of working with energy, the beauty of form, and respect for ancient traditions. Today VEL LEES invites you to discover your own path to harmony, supported by the power of tensor rings, which can be worn daily as unique, esoteric jewelry.
