Short history of the brand VEL LEES

It all started with a unique friendship born in a Rzeszow tattoo studio. Mateusz Wójcik, CEO of a family jewelry company with nearly 40 years of tradition, visited Krystian Wolniak - a passionate advocate of esotericism and spiritual science - many times. Although one dealt by day with jewelry crafts and the other with tattoo creation, they quickly discovered a common interest in mysticism and ancient knowledge.

Krystian was the first to become fascinated with tensor rings, noticing their extraordinary energy potential. He approached Matthew with the idea of creating jewelry that would combine the spiritual properties of copper with a modern form. Together, they developed a unique clasp so that their product retains the properties of a tensor ring, yet can be unclasped and worn on the hand as a bracelet. It was a real breakthrough!

Seeking a name that would capture the spirit of Slavic tradition and emphasize the role of spiritual transformation, Krystian and Matthew were inspired by the figure of Weles - the god of prosperity and secret knowledge. However, they wanted something unique, so they combined the motif of Weles with the Latin word "VEL" (meaning "or, choice") and English "LEES" (wine sediment symbolizing ripening and transformation). Thus was born VEL LEES - a name that carries the idea of freedom to choose a spiritual path and the process of inner development leading to the discovery of true potential.

The base of the brand's offerings is copper, but for those looking for a more exclusive finish, there are also tensor rings made of silver or gold. Each piece is the fruit of Matthew's years of jewelry knowledge and Krystian's spiritual passion - the essence of working with energy, beauty of form and respect for ancient traditions. Today VEL LEES invites you to discover your own path towards harmony, supported by the power of tensor rings, which can be worn every day as unique, esoteric jewelry.
