Jewellery designer Ilse Hummeling is the creative driving force behind "Thirteen".
After two years of studying and training to become a goldsmith in The Netherlands,
Ilse moved from The Hague to Antwerp in Belgium to complete her studies.
With the help of her husband, Ilse established "Thirteen" and is now ready to open the doors of her studio.

Meanwhile, Ilse has been busy. Her work has been shown at the Diamond Museum in Antwerp and her creation
"Stairway to Heaven" is a double award winning design.

Ilse creates jewellery in the broadest sense. Ideas emerge, are developed, become computer drawn in 3D and are then beautifully produced.
However, her passion is in forging the precious metals until the jewel shape is created.
