All that glitters is not gold: het is niet alles goud wat er blinkt. Als het om gouden juwelen met diamant of edelstenen gaat wil je zeker weten wat je doet. Ik vind niets leuker dan mijn kennis en mijn netwerk inzetten om de beste (verlovings-)ring of ander juweel voor iemand te realiseren.

Van jongs af aan kom ik al graag in het Spiegelkwartier in Amsterdam, de buurt met kunst en antiekwinkels, om te speuren naar vintage en antieke juwelen. Voor mijzelf, voor familie of vrienden.

In 2018 heb ik een studie edelsteenkunde afgerond bij Gem-A in Londen, het oudste en meest vooraanstaande edelsteenkundig instituut ter wereld. Daarna heb ik bij de Hoge Raad voor Diamant in Antwerpen mijn diploma Certified Diamond Grading behaald.

Inmiddels werk ik in het Spiegelkwartier voor enkele juweliers en bij een veilinghuis. Ik heb de beste, meest ervaren edelsmeden van Amsterdam leren kennen en werk met een door de wol geverfde diamantair. Als je benieuwd bent of ik jou kan helpen, neem dan contact op.

… and then again, sometimes I do mind a synthetic stone. This Art Deco ring has a synthetic blue sapphire that just doesn’t have much life in it. I kept looking at it and thinking: if only! I like the ring, if only it had a lively, mor
A pair of diamond stud earrings, seems easy enough to find. But you want the right cut, colour and quality diamonds and especially: the right settings - maybe to match your wedding ring or other jewellery or simply because a classic thing like diamon
I like to use anything that’s lying around for a jewellery stand. Wood, minerals and especially shells from tropical islands work quite well I think. #imisstravelling . . . . . . #goldring #diamondring #ringsofinstagram #showmeyourrings #engage
Elegant, classic, handmade with love and attention. An engagement ring that is, maybe like the proposal you have in mind, exactly how you want it. This three stone diamond ring was carefully put together balancing design, price, and quality - because
Personally, I think cufflinks are not just for bankers and lawyers. Any guy can wear them, women can wear them, cufflinks are just the coolest little accesories for anyone with any sense of style. That’s why I couldn’t pass these up whe
From my personal collection: this ring is two valuable things: craftmanship and re-use of materials, combined. It used to be an antique brooch, that nobody wanted to wear anymore. So it was converted into a ring that is super well made and beautiful
Been wearing these, not to mimic Lady Gaga or Pablo Picasso on their respective stages in 2021 and 1950 where they got to send a message of peace to the world, but simply because I too hope for a new day, like so many people in the world who are suff
I thought I only liked classical designs and antiques. When a ring is handmade with love and attention (the goldsmith made a real effort here to make this ring as elegant as possible), and the giver asks to have a song title inscripted in it... the r
Love at first sight exists. This is my favorite piece of 2020, from @dekkerjewelrywatches with her unique taste for well-made, beautiful jewellery from all eras and makes. I felt a knot in my stomach everytime I thought of it being sold - such a stro
So, almost everything was ugly this year. And then she decided to buy herself something beautiful. If not now, when? On a rainy Friday afternoon, she picked a gorgeous oval cut emerald of around 1ct and my goldsmith drew her a classic yellow gold rin
I never got married (never say never!) but here I am: I love making or finding engagement rings for people with taste. And I also watch Say Yes to the Dress -Lancashire!- occasionally. What is good taste, you may ask? Where do I get my inspiration? L
