Made Just For you
The key attribute to a piece of jewelry is its expression of something unique and personal. Every person who wears our jewelry should sense that her or his piece is both individually crafted and distinctively singular.
'Mother and Child' -Silver | Yellow Gold | Emerald | Mother of Pearl. The inspiration for these charms came from a ring I made a while ago. It has a heart shape and within the heart, you see a mother hugging her child. From there I had to make it look like a butterfly as well. ✺ "I asked Silvia to make a gift for my daughters's 18th birthday. [.....] With our input, Silvia got going. Silvia's craftsmanship is surprising, creative, spiritual and with attention for details. Thank you so much Silvia for this beautiful, memorable pieces you made for us." H. Haverman.
'Corie's Story' - Green Tourmalines | Goud | Silver. ✺ "Sinds a week I have the most beautiful ring in the world on my finger, with 3 tourmalines. For each daughter a stone. [.......] The ring doesn't stand on its own, but carries a cautious making-of, the ooo so nice conversations we had, the thunderstorm that rushed through the Jordaan in February and of course the most priceless gift from my three daughters. There's one thing though I think Silvia must work on: she should charge more for her work! Everybody deserves such experience with Silvia, it has been a beautiful journey with a fantastic ring as the result. Thank you Silvia...."
House of Anubis' - Silver | Ruby. ✺ "Silvia made this ring for me, inspired by the house of Anubis and I could not be more happy with it. It is exactly what I had imagined and she knew precisely what I had in mind. Could not recommend her enough. Love love love. The quality is chefs kiss and there is nothing left to be desired. Thank you Silvia for this." -A. Posdijk
Sankia's Story -Oxidized Silver | Orange Calsite. ✺ "This ring has indeed surpassed all my expectations; Silvia has skillfully managed to combine the rather large orange calsite with some of my old silver and gold jewelry [......] I asked her to make a ring that's not too small and definitely not too smooth and ooh boy, I love the rough edges and scratched surface of the silver! A beautiful work of art. Thank you forever Silvia!" - S. Heins
'Celebrate Diversity' -Silver | Yellow Gold | Tourmaline. For this order I was asked to make a goodbye gift for someone. She was described as a person who loves to travel, celebrates diversity, a bridge builder and world citizen. I was totally free to make the design and found inspiration on a painting from Tarcila do Amaral "Operários" and Oscar Niemeyer's work. The green tourmaline I bought in Brasil, country were she use to live and has a special connection with. ✺ "I am the lucky one who received this treasure!! Very grateful dear Silvia for having one more piece made by you, lots of stories and love"... H. van den Biggelaar
'Adriana's Story' - yellow gold/topaz/silver. For this order, I was asked to turn her old family gold into a modern ring. The blue topaz, was set in ring and worn every day, for many years by her grandmother, whom was very dear to her. ✺ "The ring became beautiful, speechless... I am thrilled to have such an exclusive gift. Thank you Silvia". A. Rodrigues

The purpose of the ring is to keep their loving memories always with her. ✺ " This ring is made by Silvia. It used to be the wedding bands from my grandparents, both passed away. Its beautiful! Silvia is not only a nice, kind and spontaneous person, she is a true professional. I could not be happier with it." L. van Maldegem
'Amsterdam in times of Corona' - silver/amethyst/yellow gold. Very inspiring order! My imagination went wild. 'Corona', which is Latin for 'Crown' is also a part of the arms of Amsterdam, so I decided to melt it all together in the design. The archetype of the crown is also interesting; it stands for mental power, wisdom and intelligence. - ✺ "For unique, handmade jewelry. I highly recommend her". -A. van Meegen
'Suzanne's Guiding Star' - Yellow gold | 0,09 ct diamond | +- 1 cm dimension. For this order I was asked to make a charm with the shape of a star and a little stone in the middel. - ✺ "Love my guiding star, my idea beautifully designed and made by Silvia Passos. Wearing it makes me happy and grateful". -S. Venneker.
"Dina's Engagement' - White Gold | VS 0,17 crt. ✺ "While making this ring I had an experience I will never forget. As white gold is very hard to work with, I had no choice but to solder the diamond on it. I had only heard that a good quality diamond can bear heat and decided to try it. My heart skipped a bit to see the soldering melting around it and yet, the diamond stayed shinny, like nothing had happened. Stunning."
'Mother and Child' - Oxidized silver | Marcasite. This ring was made for someone whom was about to become a proud grandmother. A piece of jewelry is a great way to make this kind of special events memorable. Inspired by celtic art.
'Marley's Pearls'- Antique Fresh Waters Pearls. ✺This beautiful neckless used to be from her grandmother, lots of years and history involved. I had to knot it all over again. Its is beautiful to see how timeless gemstones and pearls are. That is why I love them.
'Cuddle'- Yellow Gold Wire. ✺Silvia is a fine woman. She made a made a bracelet and a charm for me. She understood exactly what I explained and the meaning of it. And also, (very important for me), she made the bracelet in such a way that it is very comfortable to wear. I have been wearing and enjoying both for years and they still look beautiful. In short, Silvia is a professional, the design process was fun and next time If I would need anything again, I will ask her to make it for me.
'Hanneke's Story'- Topaz | Yellow Gold | Silver. Made from old family gold and stone. ✺ "I am the lucky one who received this treasure!! Very grateful dear Silvia for having one more piece made by you, lots of stories and love"... H. van den Biggelaar

'Jussara's Story'. -Oxidized silver and turquoise. For this order I was asked to make her a ring with the shape of an eye and a blue stone.

'Maggie's Story' - Yellow Gold | White gold| Tourmaline | Ruby.

We also want three stones on it and those will stand for our three children.' ✺ 'The ring is stunning!! I am very proud to be able to wear a real Silvia Passos creation.
