Meesterlijk Event

The month of November is upon us, hence it’s an exciting time in Saskia Shutt Designs’ workshop.

An open-door workshop event with Journée de Artisan, on Sunday 22/11. Also an expo with Meesterlijk, the last weekend of November, held in Amsterdam, which sees the launch of Saskia’s new collection of jewellery.

Unveiling of new work

The new collection is inspired by the shapes and complimenting colours of the gemstones themselves. Most noteworthy, vibrant pink tourmaline set together with deep velvety peridots, make for exciting pieces of jewellery. As a result, the combination of the two colours and due to the size of the gemstones, which are audacious, create stunning jewellery. The collection sees striking rings, a pair of earrings and as the centrepiece, a pendant. The image displayed, is a taster of the collection to come. Silver hand carved heart shape ring, set with oval peridot centre gemstone and pink tourmaline scattered around the entire ring.

The combination of colour is bold and daring and will appeal to the more outgoing personality. Someone looking for a showstopper or a statement piece will definitely find their mark in this collection.

It’s going to be an exciting and busy time in the workshop to get everything ready for Meesterlijk. The new collection will be on display to the general public, for the first time, during Meesterlijk in the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam.
