To new beginnings

New beginnings

Back in 2018 I felt an unease in my body. I had the nice corporate job. However something didn't feel right. I felt I needed to listen to my inner voice. I was passionate about jewelry and I dreamed of a life as creative entrepreneur. I started my goldsmith education and decided to take the jump in the great unknown.

Roughly 7 years later I felt this same unease and I decided to go on a sabbatical with my family for 6 months. Mostly enjoy time with the people I love but also to reflect on the past 7 years and to find inspiration for the future.

This turned out to be the best decision in a very long time! I decided to invite my inner creative entrepreneur and to have the true and honest conversation with her.

What I’ve come to realize is that the most powerful guide for what’s next isn’t chasing an external idea of success, it's tuning into what really drives me, gives me energy and what I believe I’m great at .

That reflection has led to an exciting new chapter for MP. We’re shifting our focus to bespoke jewelry, helping you find or design one-of-a-kind pieces for the moments that matter most. This means our store and webshop will no longer carry a wide collection, but instead offer a more personal, 1-on-1 experience to create something truly unique with you.

Changing the status quo

This new direction allows me to dedicate my efforts to crafting unique pieces using the latest 3D technology and implementing a more sustainable production policy that aligns with my personal and professional ideals. It’s a bold change, but one I’m incredibly excited about. While this transition will come with its challenges, it represents a fresh start; one that I believe will lead to even greater creativity and artistry.

What does this mean for you, our valued customers?

SALE! We are thrilled to announce a major sale starting June 2nd and running until the end of July, as we prepare for this exciting new chapter. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire one-of-a-kind items at incredible prices—pieces that will not be available again!
Same beautiful spot on the Reguliersgracht. Same commitment to quality. But a more personal approach. From August onwards, MP will focus fully on one-on-one, custom jewelry - made just for you, for the moments that matter most. Whether it’s a redesign of a family heirloom, engagement ring or a fresh piece to mark something new, I’ll be here to help bring it to life.

sustainability is in our dna

Our core values will stay the same with even better focus on what is important

Local craftmanship.

I truly believe in craftmanship and local production to minimize our footprint in every step of the production process. I always work with the best qualified ateliers and the top notch diamond merchants to maintian our quality standards.

I will focus even more on the minimization of stock levels to zero since all we do is made to order. We will only start producing once we have a final go of our client.

Thank you, truly, for all the love and support over the years. This next chapter feels exciting and deeply aligned with what I love doing and I can’t wait to share it with you.
