Hester Zagt

Modern jewelry with Dutch tradition

Hester Zagt is a master at interweaving Dutch traditions with a modern aesthetic in her handmade jewelry collections. From her intimate studio she draws inspiration from the rich cultural tapestries of the Netherlands, such as the iconic Zeeland buttons and the intriguing Staphorster dotwork. She expertly transforms these historical motifs into contemporary jewelry, made from high-quality materials such as gold, silver, pearls, red coral and porcelain.

Each piece of jewelry from Hester's collection is an ode to Dutch heritage, refined with a fresh, contemporary look. Her unique approach to design recently came to the fore when she was commissioned by the Rijksmuseum to design a special Vermeer collection that reflects the artistic nuances of the Dutch master. This collection, along with her regular offerings, highlights her ability to reinterpret deeply rooted elements into minimalist, yet expressive designs.
