Selected Work

Explorations of structure, material, tension and form through hand fabrication.

Open structures that create the perception that the gemstone exists independently within the metal. Selected for Milan Jewellery Week 2026.

Tension

The stone holds the structure, the setting becomes dependent upon opposing forces.

Commissions

Designed and forged for you

Commissions begin with a conversation about the person, idea or occasion behind the piece. From there, I develop sketches and a proposal before hand-fabricating the finished jewellery in my Rotterdam studio. Each commissioned piece is individually made and hallmarked.
