Titia – Jewelry from generation to generation.
A mother as muse
My parents have always been my biggest supporters. They have proudly followed my work for years. In March 2024, my father died suddenly and unexpectedly. That is precisely why this client day and the photo shoot for my mother took on an extra charge. It was a beautiful, but also a double moment. Because although she was portrayed with my children, her grandchildren, he was sadly missing from the photos.
Stories coming together
Titia wears several pieces, each telling its own story. On her hand is an Embla ring with a green tourmaline, a piece of jewelry she wears daily. She also has a ring that incorporates a gemstone from her own mother’s jewelry. This makes it a tangible reminder of those who came before her.
For her 70th birthday, I gave her a pair of gold earrings with blue topaz and pearls. She wears these often and they fit her perfectly. She also wore a necklace that once belonged to my grandmother. I was later allowed to make a new pendant for it so that it would have its own place in her collection.
A lasting connection
It remains special to see how jewellery connects generations. What began for me as a love of craftsmanship became a path of its own in part because of their support. The photos from this day show that jewellery is much more than a beautiful object. They preserve stories and memories – sometimes with a light tone, sometimes with an edge of loss, but always full of meaning.
