I am inspired by the many small, wonderful things that I discover and experience in my immediate environment.

 

I take many of these inspirations and experiment and combine them into new, unusual ideas. This is how my jewellery comes into being and a variety of material combinations that I put together from the most diverse areas.

 

A colourful world that combines old and new, resulting in gift ideas or especially jewellery collections, which I would like to present to you on these pages and also especially live at selected markets.

For more than 32 years I have been working with about 80 different and sometimes very unusual woods, from A like Amboina burl to Z like Ziricote, from all over the world. They are not dyed or glued together, but are always pure nature, and I only use oil or wax as a surface. I like to leave natural inclusions or grown edges in the jewellery. Each piece is absolutely unique.

Individually handcrafted and reminiscent of old folios, my stone books are an eye-catcher on any desk or in the garden. Especially the colour and the grain of the different natural stones they are made of make the books so attractive - each one is unique!
