  UTE VAN DER PLAATS CONTEMPORARY JEWELLERY


I’m a contemporary jewellery designer born in Germany, living and working in Belgium.

Porcelain, the white gold, is the main medium in my work.  I’m fascinated by the tension between the light and very fragile appearance and the actual strength and sustainability of porcelain. With every new collection I explore new materials and techniques. It’s the process of mastering the unknown by experimenting that interests me. I like to push the boundaries of jewelry making concepts by combining modern technologies with traditional craftsmanship.
