So how does a custom-made order gets made? First of all, I sit down and have a talk with the people who order it. I always find this part very exciting. People come to me with the mental image of a jewel in their head and I have to figure out what that looks like!

This necklace had to capture the feeling of a field of 'forget-me-nots', the little blue flower. So I drew five different necklaces and I made some different prototypes of the flowers. When the final decisions are made I get to work: Here is all the gold and saffires that were used in the necklace. Cutting out the little flowers and adding a nice texture. Hammering and soldering: And here is the final result, the finished necklace: When you hand the jewel over and people tell you: "This is exactly what I had in mind.", then its a job wel done!!
