from search to destination
At Madamas - Antwerp, every piece of jewelry embarks on a special journey before it reaches your hands. Each vintage item is personally selected by me and undergoes a process carried out with care and great passion. Let me take you behind the scenes, from the search to the destination.
-
Search for unique finds
I personally search for the most special vintage jewellery, both at home and abroad. Every piece I select tells a story and has a character that immediately stands out. Only if I fall in love with a piece of jewellery myself, if I would proudly wear it myself, does it become part of the Madamas collection. For me, it's all about authenticity and that unmistakable vintage flair that you won't find just anywhere.
-
Thorough quality check
Before a jewel earns its place in the collection, it undergoes extensive quality control. Our permanent goldsmith meticulously inspects each piece. Sometimes, specialized equipment is used to confirm the authenticity of the gemstones. This way, you can be sure that your jewel is genuine – a valuable piece that has stood the test of time.
-
Refurbish or polish
Depending on the condition of the jewel, it is refurbished to restore its original brilliance. Sometimes a simple polish is enough, but for other pieces, polishing the gold or gemstones is necessary to make them shine. Every detail is carefully attended to by hand, ensuring the jewel looks perfect again and is ready for a new chapter.
