Silver and Amber Suspension Ring with Keum Boo
Handcrafted in the studio

Light, suspended in precious form.

Contemporary jewellery, hand-fabricated in my Rotterdam studio. I explore structure, tension and negative space, bringing precious metal and natural stone together through considered construction.

Selected Work

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.
