Statement

The jewelry of Malou Paul distinguishes itself with a nostlagic feeling. On one hand this is reached through the (re)use of materials, such as old doorknobs, (old) zinc, old postcards, wool, combined with precious metals. On the other hand through the sources of inspiration, like mourning jewelry, victorian jewelry and traditional costume/folklore. Also nature, in all its different appearances, is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for beautiful shapes and colors.     Together, this ensures that the jewelry pieces of Malou Paul carry a piece of history within them. The jewelry looks lived in, each with its own story. In addition, experimenting with materials is important, as well as the search for new shapes and forms. The ultimate goal remains making an interesting piece of jewellery, without "overthinking."  On sale at Webshop www.maloupaul.markita.nl GoLDFABRIK www.goldfabrik.nl  Op Voorraad www.op-voorraad.com  mail: paul.malou@gmail.com

Regardless how your website is designed aesthetically, it is important to make certain that all of the files have small file sizes. The reason for this is that your file sizes directly affect how quickly your website loads. It is always better to have your website load as fast as possible. You should also keep in mind that not every visitor will be using a high speed Internet connection. Test your website to ensure that it loads quickly even on a dial-up modem connection.

These are beautiful. They look like priceless family heirlooms. I just love custom jewelry. I get mine from http://www.junojewelry.com/, though their designs are a bit more modern. These are really nice, I might get some from them.

The collection beautiful but I am really impressed with the 14ct gold rings. It also seems your jewelry design have some nostalgic relation with the history. Keep making such great jewelry. All the best.

I like the chain of memories but then, I'm a sucker for zinc. There's something about it that appeals to me. Very nice.

Nice jewels. I normally prefer the more modern ones, but I have to admit those ones are classier.
