The person behind the jewelry

Learn more about Marcel Roelofs’ path as a self-taught designer, his passion for fine materials and his ambition to bring the clasp out of the shadows – as a versatile piece of jewelry in its own right.

Marcel Roelofs

Born in the Netherlands, Marcel Roelofs has lived and worked in Germany since the early 1970s. He founded his own wholesale business as early as 1977. Just five years later, the self-taught jewelry designer launched his first collection of his own design.

Today Marcel Roelofs can be found at all major international trade fairs, such as the Gem and Jewelry Show in Tucson, COUTURE Las Vegas and INHORGENTA in Munich. His company, based in Erkrath, supplies clasps, earrings and rings to specialist retailers around the globe.

the idea

Marcel Roelofs’ idea is to free the clasp from its purely functional niche and give it a stage as a piece of jewelry in its own right.

The extensive range of interchangeable clasps allows countless variations and combinations. Sophisticated, secure bayonet clasp systems make it easy to exchange the elements – depending on the occasion and mood.

the craftsmanship

Ingenious versatility in high-quality workmanship – this is what the predominantly handcrafted pieces stand for. A skilled team of designers and goldsmiths is responsible for the modern designs of the clasps and their precise execution.

Philosophy and Impression

Jewelry should not be rigid. It must be able to change, capture the moment and subtly enhance the personality of the person who wears it.
