WEARABLE WORKS OF ART

BIBI VAN DER VELDEN

UNIQUE FINE JEWELLERY, CRAFTED FROM SUSTAINABLE, UNEXPECTED

MATERIALS

Born in New York, raised in both England and the Netherlands, Bibi studied Fine Art first in Florence before specialising in sculpture at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, then completing her studies at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. A trained sculptor and jewellery designer Bibi now works and creates both to global acclaim in her studios in Amsterdam and Portugal.

Our jewellery-making process is inspired by nature and grounded in traditional craftsmanship, with an eye for detail that is innovative and transformative Bibi hand-sketches and sculpts every idea before each piece is hand-carved first in wax before setting with precious stones and positive energy to create ‘miniature sculptures,’ and unmistakable Wearable Works of Art.

“I am a sculptor I knew from an early age that was my direction in life, then became mesmerised by the whole creative process and technique of creating jewellery. What began as very academic became very conceptual as I rolled deeper and deeper into the jewellery world. I am still completely intrigued by art you can wear and how to tell a story set in a new context ”

FOR N°62 JEWELRY

Crafted with intricate detail, these asymmetrical 18k yellow gold earrings feature trout fish and a delicate little frog, capturing the vibrant spirit of a Jackson-Hole summer.

Adorned with slices of emerald, a single sparkling opal, and tiny pearls as bubbles, the design evokes the lush, natural beauty of the forest and water. Carved tourmaline flowers add a touch of elegance, transforming nature's living creatures into a wearable piece of art.

At BIBI VAN DER VELDEN the ultimate creative experiences are the luxury bespoke pieces, created personally by Bibi. These pieces map a lifetime of memories in jewellery, telling stories through stones or reinventing an heirloom.

“Jewellery keeps secrets and makes connections - that is it’s magic. I like the materials and stones to have a story, the pieces to become a conversation, the jewellery to be unique Nothing’s more fun than someone sharing their piece’s story or asking about the jewellery you are wearing, that to me adds a special charm, and so I always like to add an extra ‘something’ so you have a secret to share ”
