Bibi van der Velden’s exotic and mesmerizing materials lead her to reveal the beauty of imperfection inherent to our natural world. Using remarkable, pure materials such as semiprecious stones, ostrich eggs, scarab wings, Tahitian pearls, and cuts of 60,000-year-old mammoth tusk, Bibi sculpts each piece of jewelry as a work of art. With studios in The Netherlands, Switzerland, France, and Thailand, her designs are inspired by the fundamental stories that are embedded in the myriad of cultures surrounding her every day.
