Ring Agotha

Agotha doesn’t whisper. She speaks.

At the centre of this statement ring sits a natural pearl — organic, lustrous, and almost heart-shaped, though nature intended no such thing. That quiet accident makes her all the more extraordinary.

The design around her is bold and considered, built to give the pearl the presence she deserves. The metalwork wraps around her with warmth, like something protective, something devoted — elevating the stone without ever overshadowing her. The result feels important in the hand, important on the finger.

This is a ring you reach for on the days you want to feel extraordinary and even more yourself. A one-of-a-kind cocktail ring with a genuine soul — made for someone who knows what they love and wears it without hesitation.

On display at the hotel showcase, or visit my village workshop by appointment to try her on for yourself.

One pearl. One person. Made to be kept.

Ring Marine

Ring Marine began around three stones that felt that belonged together — and that instinct was worth following.

A raw amethyst, a blue chalcedony and a raw fluorite, each chosen for the way their purples and cool blue speak to one another. Clustered, layered, full of quiet energy. 

The setting is a conversation between two of my own techniques. The amethyst and chalcedony nestle into blackened silver using my Possessions technique — held close, like something cherished. The fluorite sits apart in yellow gold, held in my Embrace technique — a warmer, more open hold. Two methods, two metals, one ring that somehow holds it all together effortlessly.

Rich in colour, rich in detail, and born entirely from feeling.

On display at the hotel showcase, or come and see her in my workshop by appointment.

Three stones. Two techniques. One moment of instinct that became something beautiful.

Ring Come What may

Some stones make their own demands — and this labradorite was not going to settle for anything less than everything. 

Raw and iridescent, shifting colour with every movement and angle, this stone was never going to be set in an ordinary way. It needed to be seen from both sides to show of her iridescent colours in blue. 

Ring “Come What May” sits high on the hand, open to the world — visible to you, visible to those around you, alive from every angle. The setting is done in my Crucial technique, something that emerged organically and carries a resemblance to weaving, though that was never the intention. It simply became what it needed to be, much like the ring’s name suggests.

Raw on the outside, luminous within — this is labradorite at its most itself, and a ring unlike anything else in my collection.

On display at the hotel showcase, or visit me by appointment in my workshop in the village.

One stone. Two sides. No going back.

Pendant Vee

Some stones speak the moment you find them. This amethyst slice did exactly that with me.

Known as an amethyst flower, the stone is polished across its face to reveal the grey tones with nuance of violet, while raw crystals edge every side — natural, untouched, full of life. The pendant is designed after my mood of the day, and entirely unrepeatable, a pendant that honours my pure  expression.

What makes Vee special beyond the stone is her versatility. Thread her onto a simple black cord and she becomes cool, relaxed, effortlessly wearable every day. Hang her from a fine chain and she transforms — suddenly elegant, a real treasure for an evening out. Two looks, one pendant, endless possibility.

A true original, in name and in nature.

On show at the hotel showcase, or come and discover her in person at my workshop by appointment.

Necklace Vincenza

Vincenza is like gold, it is that unique feeling, just in a beaded necklace design. 

An asymmetrical necklace that is created around a cluster of freshwater pearls that rests to one side of your neck, exactly where it catches the eye, and to give her that extraordinary vibe. The cluster itself is a study in contrast: blackened silver and 14k yellow gold-filled metalwork, alive with texture, cradling pearls in an orbe-like design, that with ease feels both luxurious and effortless commbined with beautiful hyperstne beads on silk. 

Pearls have a timeless quality — and Vincenza has the edge. The asymmetry, the dark and gold interplay, the unique cluster — all of it adds up to something classic and quietly rebellious at once.

A piece you reach for again and again, for years to come.

Found in the hotel showcase, or visit my village workshop by appointment to try her on in person.

One cluster. One neck. Never made twice.

Ring Ianthe

I’ll admit it — this one holds a special place for me.

Ring Ianthe carries two stones, and the pairing is everything. A marbled lilac agate, with its dreamy, swirling interior, sits alongside a faceted amethyst in an AA grade quality — deep, clear and luminous. Together they create a purple that shifts and breathes depending on the light.

What holds them is a woven net of my own invention — an intricate setting that cradles each stone snugly while becoming something beautiful in its own right. The technique took time to develop and cannot be found elsewhere. It is entirely mine.

Rich in detail, strong in personality — Ring Ianthe is elaborate without being excessive, and unforgettable without trying too hard.

On display at the hotel showcase, or come meet her in my workshop by appointment.

Ring Estella

Ring Estella stands apart — even within a collection built on uniqueness, she is in a category of her own.

Three gold claws reach up to hold a raw amethyst, set into darkened silver — a combination that feels almost architectural, a little dramatic, and entirely deliberate. The contrast between warm gold, deep blackened silver and the natural violet of the stone creates something that stops you.

So far, there is no other ring in my collection quite like her. She come form a personal feeling, and became an interesting and elegant statement.

Created entirely by hand in my village workshop, where I work during the day and where you can visit me. Or I could meet you in the hotel —

Ring Dew 

Born from one of my original techniques, this 'Embrace' technique is also developed by me — which was the very reason I began making jewellery — to stand out from the crowd and to have my own signature styles and techniques. Ring Dew is another true one-of-a-kind jewel that is made just once. 

At its heart sits a single raw chalcedony, handpicked for its soft, hazy blue — a colour that holds something of morning light and pairs beautifully with almost anything you wear. Understated and moderate in scale, this ring is quietly confident. Minimal, yes — but full of character.

Ring Dew belongs to the Pure series, a recurring thread in my work where a single stone meets one of my signature techniques. Each piece in this series is born from a different stone, making every one entirely its own — similar in spirit, unique in soul.

You’ll find Ring Dew on display in the hotel showcase, and if you’d like to see where it came from, you’re warmly welcome to visit me in my workshop here in the village, by appointment.

A small treasure for the hand. Entirely yours.

Ring Loraa

Malachite has a way of drawing you in, and this stone is even more interesting due to her natural stripes, which gives her extra coolness. There are no two pieces of malachite alike, and so are my rings. Ring Loraa is  special twice over: once in the stone, once in its design, and I made only one juts like her. 

The technique is developed by me, to embrace a stone, and to give it a more minimal look that holds the stone with quiet intention, letting it breathe while keeping the overall feel clean and considered. Part of the Pure series, which forms the foundation of my Conversation Pieces collection, Ring Loraa is where simplicity and personality meet.

Handcrafted in my village workshop, and on display at the hotel showcase — or come and see me in person, by appointment.

One stone. One ring. Never repeated.

Pendant Puddle

Every now and then, something finds me that is part of my usual style.. 

Puddle makes you smile. A small carved black stone elephant, full of character and charm, given a new life as a pendant. I used my Possessions technique to give her a jewel like quality to cherish. This small elephant should be treasured, not hunted... An elephant is one of the most amazing, smartest and kindest animals on our planet.

Wear Puddle on a simple cord for an easy, everyday companion — or slide her onto your own necklace and make her part of something already yours. Either way, she goes with you.

On display at the hotel showcase, or come and find her in person at my workshop by appointment.

One elephant. One technique. One Puddle — entirely unique.

Pendant Poes

A little brightness for your day — that is pendant Poes in a nutshell.

Named after the Dutch word for cat, Poes is a sweet, luminous Opaline glass pendant that catches the light and lifts your mood. Small, vivid and full of charm — the kind of piece that makes you reach for it on an ordinary Tuesday just because it makes you happy.

Like pendant Puddle, Poes is also a sidestep from my usual work and I cherish some of these detours, every once in a while. They represent something important to me — the freedom to follow a feeling without rules, without a signature technique to uphold. That freedom is part of what keeps my work alive, and the freedom I have as an artist.

Wear her on a cord, on a chain, or gifted to someone who needs a little colour in their day. She makes a lovely token.

On display at the hotel showcase, or visit me in my village workshop by appointment.

One glass pendant. One mood-lifting moment. Very much one of a kind.
