Wavy grey hair, a head to toe flowery print, kind eyes and an all round calm atmosphere. Goldsmith Bram de Groot gives off strong craftsmanship vibes. And a craftsman he is.
“The work I make is deeply personal. I don’t have a collection to choose from, my jewelry is always custom and created from scratch. Preferably using materials that have lived a previous life, perhaps from a beloved family member. I love to start based on a specific request and forge something together: a combination of a personal story and my knowledge of material, combined in the shape of an adornment.”
What a treat it was to visit, interview & photograph Bram in his atelier. More on Bram & his creations up on my journal, featuring my favorite vendors ✨

The very multi-talented @_____bram and I worked together on this set! We each made a ring for the lovely couple @meeeesje and @iebeaux ..... My sister and my brother-in-law! And somehow we are also longtime mutual friends with Bram. So this HAD to happen 😎
A really stunning meteoric-iron ring for Ibo and a Fairmined 18ct gold ring for Macy. I am so proud of how this set turned out. Completely different rings, though still an incredible matching pair. Both engraved by Bram.
The wedding was amazing and I'm still on cloud nine. These two people know how to spread love all around them 🙏❤️

WORKSHOP MICROBIAL GOLDSMITH
@designartandtechnologyarnhem students visited the studio of @tess_atelier and learned about basic craftsmanship with precious metals. An honour to teach them! The students designed their own microbiobes to be casted and gold plated.
