I created 'oh so quiet' in 2017 when I started selling my handcrafted jewellery in New Zealand. The quiet little valley in Matakana, where my home studio was based, was the inspiration for the brand name.
I have recently moved back to my home country Belgium where I have set up my studio in beautiful Bruges.

I fell in love with metalsmithing during a two-day silver ring-making workshop and I quickly became hooked. Apart from attending some workshops where I learned the basics, like soldering, I am self-taught.

I use traditional metalsmithing techniques like sawing, filing, hammering, forging, soldering,... I love everything about the process, from designing till finishing pieces of jewellery.

Each piece is handcrafted by me, out of metal sheet and wire. Sterling silver is my preferred metal to work with. I like adding textures to my pieces and I often oxidise them to bring out the details.
