BRIDAL JEWELRY

Bridal jewelry has a special place in my hart. Everytime it moves me when I can make something for this special moment.
My passion isn’t only in designing also in teaching.
A brilliant idea for a bridalshower: Take your friends or bridesmaids out for a workshop and everybody can make their own jewelrypiece or I'll put it together as one bracelet for the bride.
8 Years of experience in Bridal Shows in Europe have shapened my designs to a high standard and one of a kind art.
Feel free to contact me for availability and other questions.
