Result of the Dag van de ambachten/Journée de l'Artisan http://saskiashutt.com/englishblog.php?d=11 Sunday was a very successful day dispite the minus temperature and the icy roads... People, all over the country, braved the cold and visited the open workshops and studios of the participating craftsmen.

My workshop was bussling with visitors and enthousiasts... I even had a fellow jeweller come and chat to me and see how I work and what I do, personally, I thought it was quite a compliment that he came to see me work and I am now a bit gutted that the demonstrations I provided were pretty basic. Although, if I think about it, giving more intricate and advanced demonstrations with 10to 15 people crowding round you to watch what you are doing, would be very difficult to concentrate on the work at hand.

My fellow designer, shoemaker, Natalie van Lijsebettens, also had and increadibly busy day on Sunday and she was also visited by Atv, the local Antwerp tv station! She was intervieuwed for the local news that evening...

I hope that people enjoy visiting my workshop and will venture back for commissions. There were various people who tried on my jewellery that I had on display in my workshop...

Symbolism... rings... sanctity of marriage & unity... http://saskiashutt.com/englishblog.php?d=9 Saskia Shutt Jewellery recently made a pair of wedding rings made from one piece.... 

Customers who stepped into the union of marrige on the 8 May 2011 and they wanted the figure 8 to play a major part on the marriage day.  They picked the number 8 as a symbol, a sign for unity, the never-ending figure.

The symbolism went even further than the figure 8... The rings were also made from old jewellery from both his and her personal collection, which was melted down together, in Saskia’s workshop.   After the silver was all melted down, it was milled into a long strip of silver sheet which was then turned up into the first ring and after it was soldered the second ring was made to complete the figure of 8.

                        

The rings were then sawn in two and bride and groom presented each other with their halves.... the unity was completed

                                           

"8 is the number of unity... 8 is a knot which ties the unity... 8 is a loop which mirrors itself... 8 is the number made of 2 halve to create a whole"

New year... new venture!!! http://saskiashutt.com/englishblog.php?d=7 Saskia Shutt Jewellery is proud to announce the launch of her new online shop!

At the end of January Saskia attached an online shop to her website, which sells beautiful bold pieces of silver jewellery.  It is a limited range of jewellery which can be purchased online via PayPal.

The pieces advertised in the online shop, are all made by hand and therefore Saskia Shutt Jewellery asks for a little patience as the order time is 4 weeks.

Please feel free to browse the online shop and thanks you for your purchases... If there are particular pieces you would like to customise (ie, ad a gemstone or change the texture) please contact Saskia directly to discuss your wishes.

Saskia Shutt hopes you enjoy your shopping experience!
