As a little girl my interest in jewellery was sparked by my Dutch grandmother's beaded necklaces. Each time I went to my grandparents, my grandmother let me play with one of her old black purses in which she had put all the necklaces she didn't wear anymore, together with some empty, carefully cleaned cream jars and a little silver spoon. Even today I'm still not quite sure what connection she saw between necklaces, cream jars and a silver spoon, but I sure had a great time playing with it! : )

Thanks to my Dutch-Italian roots and my family in France, I lived and studied in three different countries when I was growing up. 

O Creations is based in the Netherlands, but sometimes I also work from Italy.

I definitely got my love for bright colours, flowers and sparkly things from my Italian grandmother. As a tribute to her and our special bond, one of my first collections of pendants in the shop carries her name, 'Salvatorica'.

As I like to give an extra personal touch to all my jewellery, many designs are named after a family member or friend that has inspired me. Furthermore, every pendant comes with a certificate stating its unique characteristics, such as the name of the design, the type of gemstone etc. 
 

All the O Creations jewellery is personally designed, handmade, photographed and gift-wrapped by myself, with great care and eye for detail.

I have a passion for flora, fauna, genealogy and history, and I often like to get the inspiration for my designs by looking at old black-and-white pictures, jewellery that I received as a gift and, last but not least, all the beauty that nature and the seasons have to offer. 

I dedicate a lot of time to carefully selecting my suppliers and the different materials that I work with, in order to offer my clients high quality, unique jewellery that they will love and enjoy wearing. Furthermore, I always try to work with environmentally friendly marketing and packaging materials.

I work with gemstones, either gemstone beads or cabochons, and Swarovski® crystals. The technique that I apply to make the jewellery is called wire-wrapping, and for this technique I use round, half round and square 925 Sterling silver wire.
