Margo Nelissen Jewellery

 
 

Working view

“Creations must be pleasant to wear. Because most of my jewellery is see-through, the skin of the wearer is an important factor. My jewellery comes to life through being worn!”

Margo Nelissen designs and constructs her jewellery using metal wires in combination with ancient textile techniques. She transforms thin silver and gold wire into unusual, striking necklaces, bracelets and brooches. The metal wires are sometimes combined with natural elements like special stones, coral, shells and dried seeds.

  
 

For the creation of her collections, Margo is motivated by her fascination for certain topics: a certain era, country, or (found) materials.
One collection, for example, is inspired by Dutch renaissance collars and consist of robust yet airy necklaces and bracelets.
Her fascination for classical jewellery also leads to jewels with a classical appearance but carried out in unusual techniques. The starting point for another collection is the idea of scars: the hidden and subcutaneous is expressed in jewels with rough gems concealed in them.
      Recently she has been looking for new possibilities of creating jewellery. She also discovered a need for more colour in her work. The basis for her latest work is wire in combination with cast silver elements and colourfull glass. These jewels look airy and open, just like the earlier jewels.      

Commissions

Margo Nelissen also designs by commission. She designs wedding rings, a personal piece of art or a symbolic jewel. By studying your wishes and personal associations, she is able to create a unique personal piece of jewellery: to give or to receive.
