Delft Blue jewelry: traditional dutch jewelry with a modern twist
I really like working with porcelain. The possibility to work in detail and the fine texture of the material appeal to me enormously when making porcelain jewelry . In addition, I found it fascinating to combine this with Delft Blue, not only because of the aesthetics, but also because of its rich history. Delft Blue jewelry therefore forms a unique collection in which tradition and craftsmanship come together.
Handmade Delft Blue jewelry made of high-quality materials
My collection of Delft Blue jewelry is completely handmade. Each piece of jewelry is a unique piece, made of high-quality porcelain. Delft Blue, a form of pottery and ceramics, originates from the Dutch city of Delft. It is known for its characteristic blue and white color scheme, inspired by Chinese porcelain that was very popular in Europe in the 17th century. Delft Blue was developed as an affordable alternative to the expensive Chinese porcelain.
The history of Delft Blue and jewelry
The origins of Delft Blue date back to the 1600s, when Dutch traders attempted to unravel the secrets of Chinese porcelain. Although they were unable to replicate the exact process of Chinese porcelain, they developed their own style inspired by Chinese designs. This style quickly became popular and evolved into what we now know as Delft Blue. The result is an iconic product known for its bright blue colours, often combined with white backgrounds, and decorated with images of windmills, boats, flowers and landscapes.
Design and craftsmanship in Delft Blue jewelry
My Delft Blue jewelry is characterized by its detailed designs and craftsmanship. The porcelain is hand-painted by a professional Delft Blue painter, applying blue pigment to the pottery before it is glazed and fired. This process creates the bright blue colors and fine details that are so characteristic of Delft Blue. The combination of this old technique with modern jewelry designs makes each piece unique and timeless.
