My passion for jewelry started early and never faded. At 18, I pursued my dream, studying gemology and jewelry design in Antwerp and California. I started my journey by opening a studio in Los Angeles, and returned to Belgium in 2002. This is when I decided to become a private jeweler, creating unique pieces for customers seeking excellence. I believe in passion, commitment, and surrounding myself with the right people who consistently strive for excellence when it comes to longevity. It’s always about finding the perfect balance between heart and skills.”
