Caroline Swolfs
“My inspiration comes from everything around me, I love to walk in nature, I am very sensitive to colours, landscapes, seasons … I observe people, their moods … as for this famous drop, I think it inspires me so much because water is my favorite element, that’s where my creativity finds its source.”
The vocation of jewellery designer came later in life for Caroline Swolfs. After graduating from a business school at the beginning of the 90s, she began her career in communications before shifting towards this passion-job she now practices with so much talent. Her true pathway in life was to be this one and no other. Today she has mastered all the tricks of the jewellery designer’s trade. Discovering her calling later in life allowed her to know precisely what she wanted. This clear vision can be sensed in every handcrafted piece she creates with so much precision and delicacy.
The line is artisanal, unique and very contemporary. Caroline’s concept is as clear as spring water. No single pieces but collections in short series, always starting from a simple design, discreet and timeless. Each collection is the result of new subtle and original graphic research.
At the end of the 90’s, when Caroline created her logo, in the shape of a drop, the idea came to her to develop her new jewellery collections from a single source of inspiration: a simple drop. This became the anchor point of Caroline Swolfs’ jewellery. Constantly reinventing her craft from this self-imposed constraint makes her creations all the more interesting and personal. The infinity of metamorphoses that such a simple form can undergo through the limitless imagination of the Belgian designer is a delight in motion.
In this fast moving world, Caroline takes the time to sit down and find her balance when she creates this timeless jewellery. Through her work, she has created a graceful universe full of fluid poetry. What both reassures and motivates her is the fact that she can do this job all her life…because it has no ending. Just like the drop is a permanent part of nature.
