He presents different collections in which he uses silver, aluminium, pearls and minerals. You can visit the exhibition untill the 28th of May. Here's a little preview: Finding the right place for each design. Silver brooches, earrings and rings with irregular pearls. The little men-brooches with a mustache, pipe or a hat made of sharkteeth or pearls. I adore the aluminium brooches with minerals! The brooches and the rings on the left side of this photo are made out of the authentical aluminium plates of the Atomium!Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:04:00 -0700http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/127http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/127From now on you can also follow us on Twitter: @TWEE_Jewellery .

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 21:04:00 -0700http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/125http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/125Last week we welcomed a ladies' club 'Zilveren Passer' in our gallery. Nathalie and I each gave a lecture about our work and then we demonstrated some jewellery techniques. It was a very pleasant afternoon, something we would certainly consider doing again. And thanks to their visit, we now know how many people fit into the gallery ...36 people and not one more! :) Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:41:00 -0700http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/124http://www.lottedemey.com/blogitem/124"Jewel with Brunch" offers you the chance to get to know a designer on a personal level. The work of the designer is exhibited in the gallery. We have a first conversation accompanied by a glass of bubbles. Then we all enjoy an extensive brunch together. You get the chance to ask all your questions and exchange ideas. We keep the group very small, 7 people can participate. Registration Peter Vermandere is a real jewelry artist and a known value in the Flemish jewelery landscape. Peter makes unique designs that results from experiments with all kinds of materials and techniques. A couple of years ago, he transformed a panel of the Atomium to a series of jewelry. You can consider Peter to be a sculptor as well as a goldsmith. The use of irregular pearls and stones often returns in his designs. Would you like to see more, take a look at Peter's website.Tue, 06 Mar 2012 09:08:00 -0800
