Being a jewel designer, Ann Strijbol has a realistic and contemporary sense of aesthetics. The name of the collection - Chapter 42 - refers to her age when she re-entered her academic past, during which she studied Metalwork and Jewel Design in Antwerp. Besides her activities as jewel designer, she is also as a fashion stylist, which gives her a watchful eye for good aesthetics. Ann gains her inspiration mainly from her feelings and she combines colours and materials in a subtle and tasteful way. The Chapter 42 collections are mainly made of semiprecious stones, wood, glass pearls, bone, silver and coconut. The colours are usually soft with here and there a brightly coloured stone as the exception that proves the rule.
