The Pearls by Margriet
Goldsmith Margriet Cuijpers first fell in love with pearls, which led to her first own collection: io sieraden. This line reflects a Modern Classic style. Materials mostly used are silver, gold, many gemstones, vintage cameo’s, pearls and of course, her favorite, diamonds. She still makes many pearl-focused jewelry, as the beauty of pearls is in their uniqueness, flexibility and timelessness.
All Natural Diamonds
Traditionally, only the most transparent diamonds are cut into gemstones and set in jewelry. A true shame, Margriet thought, as there are countless beautiful diamonds of the wildest of colours and shapes. She wanted to show the world the beauty of these natural diamonds. In 2017, After 33 years of goldsmithing, Margriet Cuijpers started cutting diamonds herself. She could finally decide for herself which diamonds to use and how to use them.
This new adventure led to her current brand: All Natural Diamonds by Margriet. She cuts and processes all types, sizes, colors and shapes of the diamond and she expertly fixes the stones in every piece of jewelry using microscopic setting technique. Craftsmanship and creativity go together, the result is unique, contemporary and valuable jewelry.
Her goal? To show the beauty of all stones in her jewelry.
