Leo De Vroomen (1941–2025), master goldsmith, and Ginnie De Vroomen, designer, collaborated in the creation of De Vroomen jewels. Over a career spanning more than fifty years, their work has combined technical brilliance with a distinctive artistic vision, transforming gemstones, enamel, and gold into wearable sculptural art.

Each unique piece combines luminous colored gemstones — chosen for their rare vibrancy and unusual color tones — with exquisite basse-taille enamel on 18k yellow gold, often accented sparingly with diamonds to enhance rather than dominate. Basse-taille enamel is the technique in which the gold is patterned with engraving, and then a translucent enamel is applied to provide color to the pattern. The result is jewelry of remarkable harmony, color, and sculptural elegance.
