Having arrived in Brussels in 1997, Martine Hermans Frisvold went back to school at "les Arts et Metiers" where she obtained a degree in "joaillerie".

Several exhibitions took place as well in Brussels as in Luxembourg.

Gaining new techniques, she enlarged her ways of expression in more constructed shapes.

Starting from her body, she creates moulds in precious metal which are transformed into pendants, rings, bracelets, cuff-links and ear-rings.

She embraced other material such as wood,glass,and seeds of trees to remind us that our common source is EARTH....
