    Meet Sophia

    Jeweller

    Sophia's journey into jewellery design began with her goldsmithing studies in Schoonhoven, The Netherlands. She furthered her skills through apprenticeships with Peter Vermandere and Philip Sajet before venturing into the industry as a goldsmith and 3D designer for various brands in Berlin.

    After co-founding the jewellery collective Argyria, Sophia returned to the Netherlands where she currently works from her own studio. Since 2023 she is a member of the jewellery collective The Pool in Amsterdam, where she shows her creations.

    In addition to her personal work, Sophia collaborates with Lieselot Versteeg, an independent artist, to run workshops in wax carving for jewellery. Together they offer hands-on learning experiences for those interested in exploring the craft.

    Sophia's dedication to her craft and commitment to sharing her knowledge make her a valuable asset to the jewellery community. Join her in discovering the artistry and craftsmanship behind each piece she creates.
