BRANDEL PRESENTS
CAROLE BAIJINGS
Designer of Colour & Composition
Carole Baijings is internationally recognised for her precise sense of colour and refined approach to design. From ceramics and textiles to furniture and now jewelry, her work reflects a continuous fascination with material, composition, and the emotional power of colour.
Atelier Way of Working
Following what she calls her “Atelier Way of Working”, Baijings creates her own colours, shapes materials by hand, and develops new forms through experimentation. Colour, layering, and grid structures recur throughout her work — instruments through which she adds depth and dimensionality to each design.
To the world of jewellery
Baijings has collaborated with well-known design brands such as HAY, Herman Miller, Moroso, and Pastoe, and her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
At BRANDEL, Baijings brings her distinctive eye for balance and colour to the world of fine jewelry — creating new icons through her unmistakable design language. The result is two collections in which classical elements such as pearls and gemstones are transformed into modern icons: Drops of Pearls and Orbit.
DROPS of PEARLS
In DROPS of PEARLS, Carole reinterprets the most traditional piece of jewellery: the pearl. By arranging pearls into graphic compositions and partially dipping them in coloured enamel, they are given a unique appearance. In this way, the pearl is transformed from a classical into a contemporary jewel.
ORBIT
The ORBIT collection is about balance, with each jewel moving freely like a mobile sculpture. For this collection, Carole Baijings designed the Duostone. The Duostone consists of two different gemstones that together create a new colour composition, such as Lemon Quartz with Pink Opal and Blue Topaz with mint-green Chrysoprase. The two stones are cut as one into a traditional marquise shape. One of the stones is milky, the other transparent in colour.
The result is an icon based on one of the oldest gemstone cuts in the world, applied in rings, necklaces and earrings.
