KAROLIN VAN LOON
Timeless design doesn’t spring out of the ground. But it’s a good place to start.
Inspired by raw, natural forms, Karolin van Loon fine jewellery, cosmetics, and objects are thoughtfully designed in Antwerp. Karolin’s emphasis on the final touch acknowledges that there’s no universal principle for the perfect combination. Her pieces allow the wearer to experiment with composition, colour, and texture, so they can create an aesthetic that’s all their own.
Les Couleurs de la Terre is a collection of nail polishes inspired by agate gemstones. These timeless shades are derived from the pure pastel tints and deep midnight hues of the Karolin van Loon jewellery collection. Alongside classic colours and nail care staples, the collection embodies the pared-back but playful Karolin van Loon palette.
Meet the Founder
Just as the layered beauty of agate takes millions of years to form, a design does not simply spring from nowhere. Starting from the rawness of nature, I work with care and respect to create something valuable. There are no changes, only additions. Nevertheless, nothing is self-evident.
Finding the right combination demands dedication and practice, but there is no golden rule. As Andree Putman once said: “I have no recipe for how to combine things. But you must be sincere. And if you are, strangely, it will succeed.” This way of creating sharpens my intuition, and for me, is one of the most beautiful things to experience.
The natural resonance between people is also important in my work, as is each individual’s own unique identity. By bringing together our different worlds rather than replicating them, we create a new universe in which we strengthen one another.
