Eefje De Coninck is a photographer living and working in Belgium. I’ve collaborated with Eefje in the past and it is a pleasure to have my jewellery featured in her photographs once again.

Part two of the collaboration still to come! Continue reading →
With the new season approaching, I’ve been looking over and reassessing some of my samples for the next collection.

Until then, here are some views of my desk from last week… Continue reading →
Hello there,
I’m back with another exchange to share, this time with the lovely Ashley from Fancy Fine. She has a great style blog regularly updated (I should take note) with vintage finds effortlessly translated into daily wear. Of course I was excited for the swap and she did not disappoint…
