Tess de Meerleer

In 2016 I graduated at luca school of arts (Brussels) in graphic design illustration and choose to follow technical goldsmith classes. I wanted to create a durable and unique jewellery label driven by honesty and emotion where I could develop myself through time. Therefore I put my focus on timeless design with a long lifespan where craftsmanship and quality are priority. Every piece is handcrafted in Belgium by me and in cooperation with an experienced team. Next to the collection it is possible for you to create your personal jewellery on size in consultation. As a child I loved to collect stones, shells or anything that I felt connected to. When choosing a gemstone a special light, an interesting clearness or inclusion, an attractive color or cut takes my attention. Something special a stone has that makes me want to look at it more closely. I feel no need to look for perfection. Imperfections make an object alive and different from one another and in the end they make the jewel even more unique. When designing I always look for a balance where ornament and minimalism meet and where colors and lines find each other. When working in my atelier serendipity often takes a leading roll and I will use coincidences as improvements for the design I’m working on in that moment. I use a lot of feeling and I always follow my intuition.
