I studied jewelry design at the Royal Academy of Antwerp in the years 1976-1980.
From 1980 to, 1981 an extra year at the Instituto Statale d'Arte a Firenze.
From 1981 to 1983 Fashion design at the Academy in Berchem.
I am working as a jewel designer and I am a professor in jewel design!
G.s.One was first of all created as a small gift to my clients, as an attention of their years loyalty when they visited my last jewel exhibition in 2022.
The reason of creation was a personal feeling that fine dining appetizers don't get the full attention of their creators, they disappear too fast in the mouth without triggering all the senses in advance.
All the occasions where fine dining appetizers are served, receptions, walking dinners, home party's and etc.
The jewel look, it is an all size fitting ring that can be used as a snack holder at the same time. Exclusive, one size fits all, not comparable with anything else.
It is innovative in the horeca (hotel, restaurants and catering) world.
Can be executed in different materials, gold and diamonds, silver, RVS, ABS, Japanese lacquer and made in different colours.
A great designer can think out of the box, crosses borders and is original in his creations.
Three things: function, construction, shape are relevant for a good design. A good design is timeless and makes the world more pretty and a better place to live. Designing without limitations and for those who understand them without need to change and interfere.
A step towards, hopefully, bringing it on the market, introducing it in the international field of the horeca (hotel, restaurant and catering) for high end exclusive use.
An innovative, unique design, a ring hand jewel that has the functionality of a snack holder with a meaningful, strong story of creation behind it .
An innovative, unique design. The perfect combination of the design and the precious metals as gold, with diamonds, silver, in which it has been executed, which makes it very exclusive for high end use.
The innovative use of 3 design and 3D-printing creates new opportunities in the field of jewel making.
