Studio Collect is a jewelry label founded in February of 2013. Hermien Cassiers, Saskia Govaerts, Magaly Hermans and Hannah van Lith are the four designers behind the label. They met during their studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. Because of their similar ideas and vision on jewelry design, they decided to start working together. In a former factory in the suburbs of Antwerp, they found the perfect workspace to create their collections. Their jewelry is designed and made in Belgium. The philosophy of Studio Collect is to create versatile and accessible jewelry, with a strong and fresh look.

From religious art to the art of jewellery making, a finely chiselled story… Holemans is synonymous with elegance and classicism, its style developing from generation to generation, balancing respect for tradition with a desire to innovate.
