About Eva Schreuder

A poem consists of words and the silence between them” (Martinus Nijhoff) This sentence is hidden on a wall in my corner. When I read this I recognized my own work. What I make only really gets its value through the person who wears it and his or her feeling about it. This is inextricably linked. I try to capture the silence between the words and at the same time create 'space' for the wearer. I am comfortable with more than just the traditional materials used for jewelry. I think I learned that at the Art Academy; thinking outside the box. My preference for jewelry is because jewelry is worn. It is a kind of marriage between art and utensil, with the absolute bonus of the sentimental value that the wearer gives. In 2006 I graduated as a jewelery designer at the Art Academy in Maastricht. After graduating, I worked as a drawing and ckv teacher at the Bonaventura College in Leiden. In 2009 my husband and I left for Asia for 6 months. Upon return, this trip turned out to be the starting signal for setting up our own jewelry label. The first collection was a fact in 2010. Since then I have participated in several exhibitions and fairs in the Netherlands (including Sieraad Artfair, Meesterlijk, Show Up) and abroad (including Invasie Antwerpen, Early Bird in Hamburg and Ventura Lambrate in Milan). In addition to my own jewelry line, I like to make commissioned work, such as wedding rings and birth gifts. But also promotional gifts, such as a necklace for Denham the Jeanmaker.Read their story
