Tineke Van der Eecken is a Belgian-born Fremantle-based jewellery designer-maker. She works mostly in silver, at times in gold, and she weaves precious and semi-precious materials together with delicate found objects; each piece brings a new story, a sense of place. Her work has been highly commended in Melville small sculpture awards, Memento Awards, and she is an award winner at the York Art and Craft awards for Works in Fine Metal.

“These pieces are as original and expressive as any painting.  They certainly do not follow any formulae or pre-established directions. They are ‘wearable art’ at its best, making fashion statements wherever and whenever they are seen.” Jan Altman
