EN Isabelle, a jewellery designer, scrutinises through a magnifying glass her last creation. The structure of the metal is now crystal clear to see.
Isabelle is good at designing high-contrast objects with a subtle balance between originality and simplicity.
Next to her, the very polyvanlent Barbara uses also a magnifier. Barbara likes making traditional and original work. «Peux plus», mutters Isabelle.
She turns her chair towards the grinding machine and keeps its ornamental nature accurately against the rotating stone. "Cà va Isabelle?'' said Barbara, as she deftly assembles a turquoise stone in a silver setting.

In the association «De Zielverfabriek» you can find professional and original jewellery made of Isabelle Riffon and Barbara Falke, the two founders of this association.
