Armande Borghardt (1965)

I have a deep love of gemstones and making jewelry with them just makes my world go round. Wonderful gemstones, crystals and handmade materials always continue to inspire me. I found that wearing wonderful jewelry will give you a whole new feel about yourself. And others will notice the difference as well!

Working intuitively with an eye for esthetics, I aim to make jewelry that is pleasing to the eye and soothing to the heart.

I live in The Netherlands with my hubbie and our cats Roos, Fleur and Douwe. Fleur loves to "help". My place of work is the conservatory, looking out over our garden, it's just perfect!

Our doggie Tinka is the latest addition to the family. She has her own weblog...

I love - in totally random order - scones, flowers, blues, photography, openmindedness, chocolate, Billy Connolly, movies, shopping, gemstones, cats,  nature, Scotland and the right amount of silliness!
