Ute van der Plaats is a contemporary jewelry designer born in Germany, living and working in Belgium. Porcelain, the white gold, is the main medium in her work. She is fascinated by the tension between the light and very fragile appearance and the actual strength and sustainability of porcelain. With every new collection she explores new materials and techniques. It’s the process of mastering the unknown by experimenting that interests Ute. She likes to push the boundaries of jewelry making concepts by combining modern technologies with traditional craftsmanship.
