Home EN - Dieuwke Raats Goudsmid

My jewelry is a translation of a personal story. My wish is to create a portable memory of a special moment, person or thought in someone's life. And sometimes I am myself. My design process is often process driven, but sometimes a personal story invites me to sketch first.

The collection consists largely of unique pieces. I make a few pieces in small quantities. I make each piece by hand and can differ slightly from each other.

You make the memories, I'll make the jewelry!

Passion for the craft

Dieuwke: “My passion is for the craft, for sculpting and crafting unique jewellery.

My designs have been exhibited nationally and internationally. A number of them have been nominated in competitions.

With courses and workshops, I can share my love of the craft with others and I treasure being able to do that.”
