The seemingly endless stream of beautiful and interesting jewellery just keeps on going ✨

This was my second time visiting the Lisbon Jewellery Biennial, and once again I was incredibly impressed by the level of the exhibitions. So many strong presentations, thoughtful selections and inspiring pieces to discover.

Already looking forward to the next edition.

More highlights from our week in Lisbon during the Lisbon Jewellery Biennial ✨

Once again, this is only a small selection of all the incredible things we saw. There was simply so much to discover!

What really stood out was the consistently high quality of the exhibitions. So many thoughtful selections, beautiful presentations and carefully considered details. You could really feel how much time, care and attention had gone into bringing each exhibition together.

After three days in Lisbon for the Lisbon Jewellery Biennial, we’re on our way home again, tired, but very happy.😁

It was such a fantastic few days. We saw so many beautiful and inspiring exhibitions, discovered lots of new designers, and, maybe best of all, got to see so many friends again. ✨

Here are just a few snapshots from our time in Lisbon. There was honestly so much more to see!
More pictures soon! 😏

So happy with this cute candy bottle by @haenerbenedict ✨🍬😁

He succeeded completely in creating the illusion of it being an actual piece of candy. 😍

Very happy with our latest addition to the collection. 🦋

We discovered this beautiful brooch by Hartog & Henneman during the opening of Aline in Wonderland, We Love Butterflies II at Galerie Pont en Plas in Ghent, and I couldn’t resist.

The exhibition itself is absolutely worth a visit!
Definitely recommended if you’re in Ghent. ✨

With work by Silke Fleischer, Hartog & Henneman, Karin Johansson, Jutta Klingebiel, Meeree Lee, Märta Mattsson, Sophia Oberhauser, Kathleen Reilly, Philip Sajet, Aline Vandeplas, Karen Vanmol and Rio Yamamoto.

Funny brooch by Sanna Svedestedt I wore last week at the museum. 🤮😍 @sannasvede
I gave it as a birthday gift to my boyfriend... But that's the nice thing about brooches, they fit the both of us. 🤣 @dennispellens

And a painting we saw at the museum of cute kittens. 😽

A day at the KMSKA in Antwerp with lots of jewellery hidden in paintings. Necklaces, brooches, earrings and tiny details that remind us jewellery has always been part of how we tell stories. ✨

Once you start looking for jewellery, you see it everywhere. 🤩

I began collecting contemporary jewellery while I was still a student. Back then, I mostly bought smaller pieces and pins. Simply because that was what I could afford. 😊

Over the years, the collection has grown and evolved, piece by piece, reflecting different moments, discoveries, and passions along the way.

I'm excited to see where this journey will lead next. Even today, every time I look at our collection, it brings me the same sense of wonder and excitement as it did in the beginning.😁

Jewellery by Duo Wonder, Sarah Reynders, Eva Schrooten, Carolina Apolonia, Gésine Hackenberg, Koen Jacobs, Laila Marie Costa, Jiye Yun, Hester Daems, Karen Pontoppidan, Angela Ponce, Mareen Alburg Duncker, Robert Thomas Mullen, Roosa Ila, Liina Lelov, Panjapol Kulp, Helena Renner, Laura Leyt.

An inspiring weekend exploring the graduation exhibitions of the jewellery departments in Antwerp and Hasselt. So happy I managed to visit so many shows this year. 😁 Truly impressed by the creativity and high level of the Bachelor’s and Master’s graduation projects.
Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for these talented designers. ✨
