Jewelry Collection
An ongoing collaboration with Antwerp-based jewellery studio Atelier 11.
Designed by Cedric Jacquemyn and entirely handmade in Antwerp, the jewellery line is produced in limited, numbered editions, reflecting the same raw materiality and sculptural approach found throughout the atelier’s garments and objects.
Destruction — Regeneration — Fertility
Collection launched 2011
Inspired by global warming and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the collection reflected on preservation, biodiversity, and the fragile balance between destruction and renewal. Hidden deep within the Arctic permafrost, the vault was conceived as a safeguard for the world’s vegetal diversity against natural or man-made catastrophe. Yet the project also raised a paradox: if environmental collapse continues, even preservation itself remains vulnerable.
This tension was translated into a series of wearable objects conceived as protective talismans and miniature time capsules.
HEKLA Brooch & KRAFLA Necklace — Glass and copper pieces containing plant sprouts cast in resin. Handmade in Antwerp in editions of 50. These objects carried symbols of fertility and regeneration while simultaneously referencing the destructive force of volcanic landscapes.

Preservation — Conservation
Collection launched 2013
Inspired by the devastating consequences of deforestation and industrial expansion in the Amazon, the collection reflected on the disappearance of indigenous tribes, rituals, and ancestral knowledge systems.
At the centre of the project stood SAGE — a wearable object containing a burned sage leaf enclosed within a double glass and copper structure. Traditionally used in spiritual rituals for purification and communication with ancestors, the sage became both relic and warning: a fragile remnant of disappearing cultures and threatened sacred grounds.
By isolating and preserving the burned leaf within protective layers of handblown glass, the piece emphasised vulnerability, memory, and the urgent need for conservation.

AWA
“Amazon Saviour Sculpture”
Created as a continuation of the Preservation — Conservation series, AWA takes the form of a sculptural copper and handblown glass time capsule containing sand, stone, and a burned branch — fragments preserved as traces of disappearing ritual grounds and threatened ecosystems.
Conceived as both relic and warning, the work reflects on the erosion of indigenous cultures and the fragile remains of a vanishing world.
Handblown glass, copper, stone, wood, and sand.
Unique piece, edition 1/1, 2013. Handmade in Antwerp.
Disappearing — Protecting
Developed alongside To the Depths of the Last Reserve, the series reflected on disappearing indigenous cultures and the fragile tension between preservation and disappearance. Hand-hammered brass jewellery and fragmented buffalo horn elements bound together with copper evoked ritual adornment, reconstruction, and the remains of fading identities.
Handmade in Antwerp.
Migration — Liberty
Launched during Here Is No Border Only Dust, the series reflected on migration, displacement, and the paradox of freedom. Gourmette bracelets and safety pins carried engraved copper plates marked “Liberty” and “Surrender,” while chokers and heavy necklaces appeared assembled from found buckles and fragmented hardware, evoking movement, survival, and improvised protection.
Handmade in Antwerp.
