The goldsmith behind your jewelry

My name is Sharon Wiemelink and I am the goldsmith behind Armoise.
In my studio in Arnhem, motifs from Classical Antiquity and nature are brought to life in special jewelry.

Long before my training as a goldsmith in Schoonhoven, I was enchanted by many treasures from lost times that were brought together in museums and other collections. I started studying small objects, such as pots, jewelry, beads, bottles, amulets and statues. Finding out which civilization, culture, person and use lies behind these objects, stimulated me. I could not just let go of these objects. Learning the craft of goldsmithing was for me the way to bring my connection with these old objects and motifs to life.

Could the makers of these ancient objects have been aware of what they left behind on Earth?
In any case, I believe that everyone should be aware of the power of their choices.

That's why I decided at the end of 2020 to start working with Fairmined precious metals. To achieve this, I launched a crowdfunding campaign at Voordekunst in the spring of 2021. This was a success, and it led to my first Fairmined collection .

Since then I have had the opportunity to make many beautiful pieces of jewelry from Fairmined gold and silver.
