Where the Magic Begins
My studio and the world I create in are filled with glitter, glow-in-the-dark elements, and a playful sense of light- that’s the energy my jewelry is born into.
I call it fairy dust, and it finds its way into every piece I make, mostly gold pieces, secretly holding precious stones or a glowing 4 cm stick light.
I love working with gold because it doesn’t just shine- it holds energy.
It’s one of the most stable and conductive metals, used in high-tech and medical applications for its ability to reliably carry energy without losing it over time. That makes it the perfect material for jewelry that’s made to hold intention and last a lifetime.
Illuminature Jewelry is a reflection of my passion for asymmetry, organic forms, and the quiet energy that nature holds. As an interdisciplinary artist, I push the boundaries of goldsmithing, 3D printing, electroplating, casting with organic materials, and embedding light into jewelry, always exploring new ways to infuse magic into every piece.
Sparkle like you mean it
More Than a Jewelry Brand
Illuminature Jewelry is one of the branches of Illuminature Ventures B.V., based in the Netherlands.
While my focus at Illuminature Jewelry is on creating magical, nature-inspired jewelry, this is part of a broader vision. One of Illuminature Ventures’ key goals is to promote knowledge and best practices in facilitating mycelium and other biomaterials as materials of the future, with a focus on sustainability and the circular economy agenda.
Through my jewelry creation, I aim to merge traditional craftsmanship with these innovative materials, creating pieces that connect deeply with the wearer and the natural world.
