My fascination for jewelry found its roots in my grandparents jewelry store. I studied at the Goldsmith Education in Schoonhoven.And after this I completed my fashion degree at Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam.
About the collection
The Hermitage Museum asked me 4 years ago to design a bold modern Jewelry serie inspired by the ‘Jewels’ exhibition, and I started to work with recycled perspex. Since then I fell in love with this material because I can express myself by using beautiful colors in combination with my drawings. My perspex jewelry is locally produced and embellished by hand. I use recycled perspex, the lasered parts are made in a workshop who work with a great foundation who help young people to fit in the society.
Custom made
I’m proud of my collabs with different Museums, because art is a big inspiration for me, and I donate a part of several jewelry series to great foundations because It’s important to give something back to society.
