IDEAS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration is everywhere: in nature, in my memories, journeys, emotions, dreams and mostly my imagination. Only when I actually start creating, one simple idea could provoke a chain reaction of other great ideas\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

TECHNIQUES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Trial and error are really my best friends! I\u2019ll try and learn new techniques whenever I can. At times based on the kind of materials I wish to use. More often because a technique is simply intriguing and inviting!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    EXPLORATION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Sawing, soldering, forging, plating, wrapping, 3D printing (yes I own one of the first models, including laser cutter\/3D scanner!), art clay silver, chain mail, casting, carving, filing, drawing, beading, composing etc.!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    CREATION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The world is my oyster! And I\u2019m thankful that my creative mind knows no boundaries and is like a mad scientist and alchemist at once: eager to explore and create new compositions and try new experiments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    House Of Lustre is owned by Tess, an artist jeweller (and urban sketcher) who loves to create one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Her work combines natural raw elements -which compliments her love for nature- with high-tech materials and the latest trends and techniques which reflects her geeky side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cI try to work on my projects as often as I can but some of the techniques I use are very time-consuming thus progress can be slow, especially when I have a weird design idea that I\u2019d like to explore (which is quite often).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \u201cA few projects found a home straight away therefore aren\u2019t listed in my portfolio<\/a>. Others made with a particular person in mind -usually someone close to me- were a gift for a special occassion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \u201cMy techniques vary often, depending on my mood, ideas and materials I\u2019d like to work with that very moment. I can be totally focused on a particular technique for months, challenging my creative boundaries.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    House Of Lustre
    Art Jewellery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    House Of Lustre is a quirky jewellery label with an artistic eye for detail and a hunger for unusual design. Launched in 2010, we don\u2019t follow fads and rules but create our own and try to outrun the mundane at the speed of light. House Of Lustre has evolved from the need to create and explore. Being an ‘artiste r\u00e9cup\u00e9rateur’, we’re currently exploring and working on an intricate Kintsugi technique!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Each piece is meticulously handcrafted and infused with a serious dose of love and patience. Tess uses different techniques, textures and materials to create her wearables which are characterized by a lustrous and diverse composition of gemstones, pearls, silver, prints, chainmaille, leather etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
