Christine Bekaert: Jewellery from the Silk Road
Christine Bekaert’s jewellery collections draw deep inspiration from the storied history of the Silk Roads, a journey that weaves through diverse cultures, religions, and epochs.
Each piece in her collection tells a unique story—evoking the mysteries of distant lands, the allure of the ocean’s depths, the grandeur of Byzantine Emperors, the poetry of Persia, the power of legendary queens, the secrets of deserts, and the fragrances of exotic spices. These tales trace back thousands of years to the lands between the Tigris and Euphrates, the very cradle of civilisation.
