Cathy Van Den Essen Jewellery

I am a contemporary jewellery artist. I design my pieces to communicate a message that represents my love for nature and my environment or special occasions symbolized through life. I include natural organic forms in my designs and this is why I think of myself as an 'organic jeweller'. I choose to work with precious metals, semi-precious stones, and exotic woods to demonstrate that wood is as precious as a rare gemstone. I am excited about creating different textures and patterns by hammering or printing into my metal with a rolling mill or using exotic woods that have amazing natural colours and patterns to create unique individual pieces.
