Now you would say, how extraordinary is that? Well, the thing is: her jewels don't really look like mine. "Is that so amazing?" you might ask. Well no, we all have our different styles. But most of all Marie's jewels are "fine jewellery", for the rich and famous one might say.  You may or may not like what she designes, but I can tell, she has "talent" and if you can afford it,  give it a go :o)...!!!

PS I added a link to her website in the "My Favorite Links" section.

So I pushed it "back to the future". And so I enjoy the joys again of taking the train, riding my bike (to the supermarket) and walking (to the bakery shop).  Who needs a car anyway!

A "watch" without a timing mechanism with just a simple engraved text: "Ook dit gaat voorbij...!" ("Also this goes by...!"). A reflexion on time, a philosphy, a way of life.

I looked at steel, but finally chose for aluminum. Much lighter en pleasant to work with.  He likes it, but most importantly, he weares it.  What bigger satisfaction for a jewellery designer than to have someone wear your jewels, especially a friend...

Thanks Ingrid for making this possible...!
