Tough but Tender

Handmade jewellery by Mariska Van Lissum

As a little girl, Mariska Van Lissum always looked with wide eyes at the wonderful costumes that her aunties wore during their circus acts. Mariska was born in the Circus and still vividly remembers the heyday of Circus Jhony. she was there when her aunties made the glittering and colorful costumes themselves, at the kitchentable, laughing and talking about the ups and downs of the circus. She inherited this creativity from young age. 

Circus, that's Magic. 

When corona flattened the country and the world. Mariska found time for a metamorphosis. Her tattoo shop closed temporaly and gave into that other passion: designing jewellery. It was like running into an old love again. 

And unstoppable passion overcame Mariska and she lost herself in the geometric shapes, circles and exclusive pearls. 

Circus is magic and Mariska's jewels also have something magical. The colours, the brilliance, each design is unique, but you always recognize Mariska's hand in it. Everything is therfore handmade. 

A bit rebellious and a bit Bohemian. 

But above all always 'One of a kind'.
