Last weekend, I discovered this lovely Dutch jewellery designer at the Invasie of Antwerp - a platform for young designers. Most of the jewellery displayed there had those angular shapes which you see everywhere nowadays - and which I'm SO over seeing!
And then I spotted her, tucked away in a corner. This lovely young girl, who'd made her own, really original display, floating through the space she was assigned. Her pieces have a really delicate, refined touch. I admire bold jewellery on others, but on me it doesn't work. Looking for the right kind of accessories, therefore, can be frustrating. Eva's work, though, looked as if it was made for me. They have a slight vintagey feel and are beautifully matte, which I love in jewellery. The fact that she turned out to be a really kind girl, a sensitive soul with a passion for beauty, was a bonus. I actually had to stop myself from giving her a hug! I couldn't NOT buy something and now I'm the proud owner of one of her rings. A ring to celebrate new beginnings and my own strength. Thank you Eva!
