Leen Heyne artist statement: 

The life of a LEEN HEYNE jewel invariably starts with a single strip of precious metal. In his studio in Tilburg, located in the Dutch province of Brabant, HEYNE places a passionate focus on the rich nature of this material. Each sweeping bend, twist, and turn is the result of a very balanced approach, achieved through manual dexterity and physically force. 

Born: 1986 - NIjmegen the Netherlands 

Only one of each gem-set piece is created- the stone and setting in combination are wholly unique.  Heyne's work is hand fabricated through a process he engineered over several years in which precious metal seemingly flows to support the gem and make it appear to float in the setting. A graceful approach that is incredibly strong, such as an elegant bridge.

A meticulous and persistent maker, Heyne is in constant evolution with his process, and has a mind that resists complacency.
