• Annick works with heavy tools to create delicate, finely crafted pieces
• Her silver creations are full of poetry
• She likes to imagine her works as archaeological finds

Annick Tapernoux seeks to create lasting silver creations, inspired by John Keats' poem, A Thing of Beauty. “Beauty elevates our soul and offers us an inexhaustible source of eternity,” she explains. Her journey with silversmithing began unexpectedly in Munich, where she had originally travelled to study gemmology. There, Annick was introduced to a school specialising in silver and goldsmithing. “I was immediately captivated by the craft,” she says. Following this discovery, Annick refined her skills through studies in Antwerp and London. Today, she draws deep inspiration from nature, spirituality and archaeology. “I like to imagine that my works come from archaeological digs, that they already had a life before they revealed themselves to me,” Annick explains.
