Pierre-Emile Højbjerg x Fergus James: Faith, Style & Gold-Standard Craftsmanship
At Fergus James, we believe that jewellery should speak — not just shine. It should reflect who you are, what you stand for, and where you're going. That's why every piece we make is more than precious metal — it's purpose, design, and identity brought to life.
So when Pierre-Emile Højbjerg — Premier League standout and Danish international — came to our Dubai atelier, the brief was clear but meaningful: a custom gold chain with a diamond cross, designed to reflect his personal values, his distinct style, and his quiet strength.
What followed was a creative process rooted in precision, trust, and refined taste — a journey that ended with a piece as powerful as it is personal.
More Than an Accessory
Known for his commanding presence in midfield and sharp football intelligence, Højbjerg is someone who leads with composure. That same mindset was clear in the way he approached his jewellery.
This wasn't about trend-chasing or overstatement. Pierre wanted something classic and meaningful — a piece that would sit close to the heart, both literally and symbolically.
He chose a custom-designed gold chain and cross pendant, a timeless combination that carries cultural heritage, spiritual depth, and elevated style.
For us, the challenge was to take that simplicity and execute it perfectly — with world-class materials, discreet elegance, and unmistakable detail.
A Private Design Session in Dubai
Pierre visited our Fergus James studio in Dubai, where every design journey is personalised, discreet, and creatively collaborative.
Our Dubai showroom has become a trusted destination for high-profile clients looking for bespoke men's jewellery — from custom diamond chains and tennis bracelets to meaningful pendants and personalised rings. We pride ourselves on offering one-on-one design sessions that put vision and quality first.
In Pierre's case, every element was refined with intention — from the tone of the gold to the size and proportion of the cross. Nothing was rushed. Everything was crafted with precision.
Understated Detail, Powerful Symbolism
The cross pendant is one of the most recognisable shapes in jewellery — but when done right, it feels entirely individual.
For Pierre, it wasn't about boldness — it was about intention. The design reflects faith and focus, but also versatility. It can be worn on the pitch, on the move, or at any event, seamlessly pairing with both casual and elevated looks.
The gold chain, custom-cut and polished in our atelier, was tailored for balance and weight — smooth, comfortable, and with just the right edge of shine.
The result is a modern heirloom: a piece built to be worn, to be remembered, and to last.
From Concept to Creation: The Fergus James Way
At Fergus James, what sets us apart isn't just who we work with — it's how we work. Every piece is designed and crafted entirely in-house, allowing us to maintain complete creative control and ensure every detail meets our exacting standards.
Pierre's journey with us was collaborative from the very beginning. From the initial vision to the final reveal, every stage was guided by thoughtful conversation, expert craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to quality. We believe that creating jewellery should be a personal experience — one built on trust, attention to detail, and the kind of care you simply don't find in mass production.
In a world where speed often comes before substance, we stay focused on what matters: craftsmanship, character, and creating something truly meaningful.
Personal Style, Global Influence
Pierre's sense of style is refined, but never showy. It's a quality that makes him stand out — not just as a footballer, but as someone who understands balance in every aspect of life.
His bracelet isn't trying to shout — it speaks in a quieter, more confident voice. That's the power of bespoke jewellery: it becomes a signature, not a statement.
And in an era where athletes influence everything from sport to fashion, jewellery has become one of the most authentic ways to express personality. For Pierre, this piece was exactly that — a modern reflection of tradition, wrapped in world-class design.
Why Custom Chains Are on the Rise
Custom gold chains and pendants have become some of the most in-demand pieces in men's jewellery — not just for their aesthetic, but for what they represent: personal values, spiritual connections, life milestones, and individual stories.
And unlike mass-market jewellery, a custom piece is designed just for you — it fits better, lasts longer, and means more.
At Fergus James, we don't just create jewellery. We help our clients design pieces that honour who they are — from international athletes to private collectors, newlyweds, and rising stars.
