SIERAAD & Friends

How do we move forward?

After spending more than 20 years in Amsterdam, we have decided to change direction and leave the city behind.

It is with a mix of emotions that we made this decision. Our decision was unfortunately driven by the hugely increased costs, which have only increased further with the aftermath of the Corona pandemic. For a cultural event like ours, staying in Amsterdam is simply no longer justified.

We treasure the wonderful memories of SIERAAD, which over the years has grown into an international phenomenon. The overwhelming interest and participant numbers have both surprised and delighted us. We take this rich history with us as we move into a new era and a new challenge.

We are convinced that the new format of SIERAAD, as we have envisioned it, is better suited to these times and the challenges ahead.

We have decided to transform SIERAAD into a smaller, more personal and once again a unique event.

We are going to expand our horizons to the beautiful historic town of Buren, in the Betuwe. With picturesque streets, good accessibility and plenty of free parking.

The core values of SIERAAD will be preserved, in which quality and originality are central and, of course, 1-on-1 contact with the makers. Within the new ambiance and the concept, we have opted for a small scale where you can get acquainted with about 25 unique, and many well-known jewellery designers or, for many of you, continue the contacts you have made before.

SIERAAD & FRIENDS will be the new name. Many of the participants have become friends over the years and many visitors are friends of jewellery, so the choice was obvious.

We hope to welcome you to SIERAAD & FRIENDS, for a valuable experience for everyone who loves jewellery. Be amazed by the creations and enjoy the warmth and uniqueness of this unique event.

SIERAAD & FRIENDS is a dynamic, international platform where art, craftsmanship, design, and passion converge in the form of jewellery. This diverse exhibition brings together talented designers, innovative artists, and skilled artisans from various corners of the globe. Each piece is a testament to unique stories, cultural backgrounds, and personal expression. SIERAAD & FRIENDS is about more than just aesthetics; it’s a celebration of identity, heritage, and the limitless possibilities of materials and techniques. This event is a treasure trove of inspiration, offering visitors the opportunity to directly engage with the creators and discover the vision behind each extraordinary piece of jewellery.

MOYA – beautiful, indeed!

Discover MOYA, the distinctive jewelry line by master goldsmith Eline van der Laag

Eline’s passion for “inventing” has led to unique creations like the Tuning Fork bracelet, a favorite of Stevie Wonder, and her signature Oyster collection with elegantly rolling pearls.
The Carousel Ring makes diamonds dance around your finger, while the Flip & Flip ring offers a choice between different gold hues and diamonds. Her Text Necklace hides a personal message, revealed when stretched.

Dieuwke Raats

Discover the Art of Dieuwke Raats: Where Jewelry Narrates Stories

In Dieuwke’s skilled hands, metal transforms into narratives. Her unique jewelry collection, entirely handmade, is more than mere adornment; it symbolizes love, memory, and personal journeys. Each piece from Dieuwke Raats Goldsmith is a personal adventure, an expression of a special moment, a cherished person, or a deeply held thought.

Glass in motion

Saskia van Es – March 2023

Chances are, when you hear the term ‘kinetic jewellery’, you think of Michael Berger’s work. The goldsmith creates jewellery with parts that swing around each other. A ring with two boat-shaped pieces a pearl, for example, which are stacked differently with every movement you make.

The ligthest jewelry in the world?

The combination of textile and jewellery remains a very strong one. Because textile is so colourful? Because it moulds to the body? Because it is comfortable and protects you? Because it is slow art, made by endlessly repeating certain actions

TESTIMONIALS

Testimonial by Liisa Hashimoto, Japan

I have been exhibiting at Sieraad for five years now, sharing the stand with Iris from Insync Design. Every year I enjoy meeting all the artists from different countries, and meeting every year is like a reunion. In Japan, unfortunately, contemporary jewelry is not known too much to the public, so it is a good opportunity for me to see other artists’ works and exchanging information about the jewelry. As to the customers coming to Sieraad, I find many of them coming back every year. And usually they will kindly come back to our stand and enjoy looking at our new works of art. So, I try to show my works in a different way with different themes every year, always discussing with Iris how to display our stand. By exhibiting at Sieraad, I have been learning and thinking about the way of showing and selling my pieces, combining one-off pieces and production lines. It is not easy, but it is a good experience for me. Exhibiting at Sieraad is always my pleasure every year.

Testimonial by Rachel Butlin, GB

First of all I would just like to say a huge thank you to Astrid and Maarten for an amazing show and time at Sieraad this year! Sieraad is a show I’ve always dreamed about being at and I was overjoyed this year to be accepted to exhibit. From day one the communication and organisation has been above and beyond and definitely made the lead up to the show alot easier as a first time overseas exhibitor. The show exceeded my expectations in every way from set up to visual appearance, visitors and response to my work. There was a wonderful mix of visitors from affluent public to international galleries, bringing a wealth of interest to our stand. I feel that the stand appearance and layout gives great visual variety and allows each participant to create their own stamp on the show by choosing colour and layout, which definitely sets this apart from other shows I’ve done. It was such a great pleasure to meet, network and socialise with so many other participants, creating relationships im sure will last on into the future. I was overjoyed with the response of my work at the show and it was lovely to receive such lovely comments and feedback from the Dutch public. Sieraad isn’t just a show, its a wonderful experience full amazing exhibitors, warm smiles, stunning jewellery and great visitors. Once again I would like to thank you all for such a great experience and i look forward to hopefully showing again with you soon.
