"The Limburg jewelry designer Iris Mondelaers (1973) continuously explores the limits of her art. Especially known for her floral designs, Mondelaers experiments with materials such as gold and silver, often in combination with semi-precious stones, diamonds and pearls. Her jewelry is versatile, sometimes playful, at other times more minimal, but always undeniably feminine. Authenticity is a constant is her work. Each piece is entirely hand-crafted and finished in her studio in Lummen. Since 1996 Iris Mondelaers is allowed to mark her jewelry with her own master stamp, issued by the Royal Mint of Belgium. This guarantees the buyer a unique, handmade and authentic piece. Earlier this year, Iris Mondelaers also received the label Handmade in Belgium, a quality label and special recognition for makers of artisan products. A beautiful crown on a career of nearly 20 years at home and abroad."--Amazon website. Text in English and Dutch. Includes bibliographical references (page 111).
