My designs

My creativity is my passion and it is shown in my design of jewelry.

I love to be inspired by nature surrounding me. During my walks with my dog I like to look around for beautiful things, a shell of a piece of tree bark can inspire me to make someting.

I love jewelry with texture, organic and natural shapes.

People know where to find me for custom orders. I have made many beautiful jewelry using old jewels. Almost everyone has a little drawer with old gold jewelry which is never worn.

In conversation with the person who is going to where the new piece of jewelry I get my ideas for a design.

How it all started...

In 2009 I started a course in gold smithing at De Kloosterpoort in Hoorn. Just as everyone else I started at the beginning with a lot of sawing, filing and sanding, before I layed a hand on a torch. For me that seemed the best part, playing with fire. After a few years I wanted to know more about the techniques and started an education at the Vakschool Schoonhoven (back then also located in Amsterdam).
