I create one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces that gently challenge conventional notions of adornment and beauty, either based around a stone, or by containing found objects. It's been 24 years since I left Amsterdam, and my journey took me to London, to Rome and finally to the Swiss Alps, where I now work from my studio surrounded by inspiring mountain landscapes.
While quietly developing my artistic voice, an organic network of loyal clients emerged, and finally I began sharing my work more publicly in 2024. It's been rather wonderful to recently learn that my latest contemporary pieces have been selected for both the Venice and Florence Biennales in Autumn 2025.
My Artistic Philosophy I believe jewellery should spark thought or celebrate your authentic self, rather than simply complement an outfit. My pieces often become conversation starters - whether they're from my "Conversation Pieces collection," in which celebrate the natural beauty of a stone, and its one-off sculpted design. In my "Arty Scenes" I either address my concerns around the world that we live in, and many other subjects, and most importantly to me, I want for each piece to carry its own distinct character.
The Process Each piece is created entirely by hand, often taking me days or even weeks to complete. I begin with a feeling or an idea, and let the materials guide me through until I'm satisfied with the final result. It's terribly important to me that each work develops its own individual character and that's why I do not like to replicate my own work, as it's born from emotion. My wire techniques have evolved through years of patient experimentation, allowing me to create the organic structures I envision, driven by a deep personal need to add something genuinely different to today's rather saturated jewellery market.
For Collectors My pieces seem to attract individuals who value artistic integrity over fleeting trends - collectors who understand that owning something completely unique is what truly makes the heart sing. Some are drawn to my more activist pieces because they encourage reflection, whilst others are captivated by my stone jewellery, which evokes quite different emotions. My signature style carries what I've been told is an unintentional but rather unusual raw luxury - something that emerges naturally from my finishing process and approach.
Many of my pieces have already found their forever homes, and perhaps one might become part of your personal story too.
