Driven by a love for togetherness, laughter, and shared experiences, Pauline has always gravitated toward bold, heartfelt community projects. She happily sinks her hands into the earth and is an obsessive walker—ideally among majestic forest trees. For several years, she’s been creating jewellery and baking bread. In short, nothing deemed “essential”—and yet, entirely vital.

From the land of watches to maple syrup country, with a stop in the terroir of camembert, Sandra eventually landed in the home of fries and beer—unaware that her passion for jewellery was waiting there. A nurse by profession, her understanding of the body is rooted in respect and comfort—values she also seeks in body adornments. For her, sharing this passion is a natural continuation.

Born in a small seaside town,Petra is a windsurfing addict turned graphic designer and illustrator. Her journey took her to Brussels, where she dove into the world of advertising. A self-proclaimed crazy cat-dog lady and avid traveler, she met her partner in Vietnam. But above all, her favorite place is behind the workbench—losing track of time while creating, exploring, and making jewellery.

Marta grew up in the vast, cold, and starkly beautiful Ural Mountains, where she studied Art History and Etching. Years after graduating in Interior Design in Belgium, she was drawn to small-scale architecture—artistic jewellery. A devoted lover of art and nature, she thrives in collaboration and is passionate about sharing her love for contemporary jewellery with fellow creatives.

A lifelong passion for jewellery led her—later in life—to earn herdegree at IKA in Mechelen. Designing, creating, and wearing jewellerybrings her pure joy. She draws inspiration from the love of her family and friends, culture, art, books,film, photographs, the sea, nature and animals —especially her adopted dogs, Xena and Lizzy. With Les Brucelles team, she’s determined to put contemporary jewellery on the map and make it more accessible to a wider audience.

Most days, you can find Silke in the forest or the heather fields surrounding her studio. Shortly after completing her Master’s degree in jewellery, she established her own studio and organized a space for showcasing contemporary jewellery—first in Antwerp, and later internationally. In her work, Silke is driven by a search for language, aspects of life, approaching her practice in a way that goes beyond mere technique, convention, or routine. Her work is characterized by an open attitude and a desire to explore boundaries—within the field, her own practice, and in the content she develops with her students. She is currently developing her jewellery research alongside commissioned projects.
