About me

I am Vivian Dumas, born and raised in The Netherlands. When living on Aruba I discovered the art of glass bead making. Ever since I have been honing my skills and adding to my repertoire.

‘Unfortunately’ we had to leave the Caribbean in May 2012 because of Menno’s contract ending  (Menno is my hubbie ;-)). So we moved back to Europe and currently we’re living and working in Brussels, Belgium.

In Brussels I found a great school and I got my goldsmiths diploma in May 2013. Together with my awesome classmates we started a small jewelry atelier,  Jewelry Atelier Houblon. Recently we moved to a new address and together with my friend and colleague Clara we now run Jewelry Atelier Alchimiste, where we work all days AND have a lot of fun of course! Here I work on my own collection of glass beads and silver jewelry pieces.

Almost all of my products are made ‘on demand’. Typically you select a design I already made once from the shop, and we agree on your wishes. I then make a unique bracelet, ring, pendant or other jewelry piece for you! Unless of course, you find an already awesome design in the shop! Hope to see you there!
