"I do not pretend to know better or more than anyone, but I do know in my core that I nurture my jewellery creations as I nurture my own children and therefore my greatest hope is that through my designs and tips, I can inspire anyone who wears Alice van Cal jewellery to discover their own sense of purpose and confidence in their own journey. I firmly believe in having faith that you are on the right path, as once you find it and are confident about it, everything falls into place. That’s my secret fuel into creating new meaningful pieces, always.” - Alice, founder and creative director of Alice van Cal

 

Just as every gemstone is part of a larger, beautiful piece of jewellery, you are an essential component of the grand design of life. Embrace your uniqueness and the path you're on. Remember, every gem, every design, and every creative idea has its place in the world. You are a valuable part of this mosaic of existence, and your journey is a testament to that truth.

 

Every individual matters, every individual has a role to play, every individual makes a difference. That dream you have was planted in your heart for a reason and you were made for this exact moment right now. So be the change you want to see in the world and don’t question your place as you belong right here, right now and it shapes your future.

 

You will never miss out on what’s truly meant for you, so try your best to live in the present as much as possible, as you can’t change what your life’s journey has planned for you. Specifically when it comes down to that thought of “I’ll be happy when I have this or that”, it’s not up to you. So find peace in letting go and embracing you are where you’re meant to be. Trust the journey and be confident about a bright future.

 

Progress is impossible without change. So don't be afraid to change and evolve – just like metals are transformed into stunning jewellery through the process of forging and molding, allow yourself to evolve on your path. Embrace change, learn from it, and let it enhance your creativity. When things change inside you, things change around you and it’s meant to feel uncomfortable sometimes, it means you’re growing  

 

Always keep in mind the best things are about to happen; when designing jewellery, it's the final touches that make a piece truly exquisite. Similarly, in your life’s path, the most remarkable moments may be just around the corner. Stay inspired and open to the magic of the unknown, as what’s meant for you will be yours
