Today I would like to show you an incredible piece of art. The essential and contraposition are rules that run this contemporary ring. Shapes and colours are masterfully combined: red and blue, two primary colours, are contrapposed together with the shapes within diagonal lines. Drop shape rubies are opposed to rubies with oval curves. In […]

For many and different reasons this year (and especially the oher, 2020), has been the year of changes. I have made some myself. One big change, many small, some important and some insignificant. Some inside my way of thinking and some the way I feel…  You already know how much I love brooches, and you […]

Bakelite… a love! There is no vintage jewelry lover of respect who doesn’t have one piece or more in bakelite. It’s common to find bracelets, brooches and necklaces if you usually hang out at ancient dealers or street markets.  It was discovered by an American chemical from Belgium, Dot.

Do you like long necklaces? Very, very long necklace?  I do, very much, and this time I could have exaggerated. Someone may say I did, but I don’t think so.

This time I would like to show you a piece of my family history. This stone was set on a ring my granny used to wear. I was fascinated by its dimensions, colour, and clearness. She always said it would be mine someday. Time has passed and I have forgotten this ring in a drawer. […]

Sometimes it isn’t the inspiration that guides you in the creation of a piece of jewellery. It isn’t a place, a style, or a culture. Sometimes it is just the gem’s shape that dictates the lines of a piece. Following the lines of these stones, you can intersect them with the others and the earrings […]

The summer is getting closer and we are all checking what we have in our wardrobes. I do the same with jewels. There are accessoires suited for winter and certainly, there are jewels suited for summer. I chose them for materials (silver, corals), colours (light blue, yellow, orange and light green), and subjects like fish, […]
