As a goldsmith in the Achterhoek region, I work with attention, color and craftsmanship to create jewellery that carries its own story. My fascination with gemstones began at a young age and has always remained. After my training in Goldsmithing at the ROC Zadkine in Schoonhoven, I followed a specialization in Jewellery Design at the University for the Creative Arts in Rochester (UK).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"997\">On August 1, 2007, I officially started my own business and opened my first studio in Zaandam. There I developed my style: a classic base, color as a starting point and granules as a refined, artisanal detail. These elements are still at the core of my work.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1024\">Goldsmith in the Achterhoek<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1563\">In 2021, I moved with my family to the Achterhoek. The tranquility and space here fit seamlessly with my way of working: attentive, precise and focused on craftsmanship. Since then I have been working from my studio in Beltrum, where I handcraft my designs as a goldsmith in the Achterhoek region. The environment gives me space to create and refine, and you can see that peace in my jewellery. Each piece is hand built from gold, natural gemstones and pearls that I carefully select for color and quality.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1610\">My style: classic, colorful and recognizable<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"2024\">You will recognize my handwriting by an elegant, classic base in which color plays an important role. I work with natural gemstones that make a piece of jewelry vibrant and personal. Granules form my craft signature in this regard: subtly applied, hand-formed and always balanced with the design. In each piece of jewelry, I look for the combination of sophistication, comfort to wear and a clear own style.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2026\" data-end=\"2056\">The story behind the granules<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2058\" data-end=\"2636\">My love for granules arose around 2009, when I visited an exhibition in Drenthe on Etruscan gold. The refinement and precision of that ancient craftsmanship made a deep impression. From that moment I knew that this technique suited me, but in my own formal language. I spent almost a year and a half refining the technique. In my work, granules do not form a strict pattern, but a controlled form of playfulness: subtle, refined and always applied by hand. Granules have since become a recognizable part of my signature.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2638\" data-end=\"2657\">Craft and attention<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2659\" data-end=\"3218\">From the first sketch to the setting of the gemstone, I craft each piece of jewelry myself in my studio. I also teach courses in which I enjoy sharing my love for the craft. Contact with my clients is an important part of my work. The stories, the consultation and the collaborative search for a design make my craft personal and special. Whereas some goldsmiths choose a position without customer contact, for me that connection is actually indispensable. I am craftswoman at heart, but my work lives through the people for whom I make it.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3220\" data-end=\"3242\">Welcome to my studio<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3244\" data-end=\"3548\">You are welcome to visit my studio in Beltrum. To view the collection, have a personalized design created or incorporate existing gold. I would love to create a piece of jewelry that fits who you are, and is made with attention and craftsmanship to be enjoyed for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/sarahkobak.nl\/en\/contact\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Make an appointment here.&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||1px|||&#8221; button_text_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; button_text_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; button_text_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/sarahkobak.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/SARAH-KOBAK-TEST-386-Edit.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;portrait of goldsmith Achterhoek Sarah Kobak&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Sarah Kobak &#8211; Goldsmith and jewelry designer in the Achterhoek area&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_social_media_follow follow_button=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=&#8221;facebook&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sarah.kobak.jewellery.designer\/&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#3b5998&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; follow_button=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221;]facebook[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=&#8221;instagram&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sarah.kobak_jewellery.designer\/&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#ea2c59&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; follow_button=&#8221;on&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221;]instagram[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the world of craftsmanship and jewellery creation with Sarah Kobak, a passionate jewellery designer and experienced goldsmith.
