Tamlyn Botha – Jewellery Designer – Druten
Welcome! I’m Tamlyn, a passionate jewellery designer and goldsmith based in the picturesque town of Druten in the Netherlands. Beyond the artistry, craftsmanship, and business aspects that fuel my creativity, it’s the connections with people—like you—that truly light up my days. Crafting a custom piece involves infusing a part of you into the design, making it my mission to collaborate on concepts and keep you informed throughout the entire process, ensuring your unique treasure comes to life. Need advice on accessorizing an outfit? I’m here for you too!
But don’t just take my word for it—here are snippets from customer reviews on Google.
In my work, I strive to use recycled and reclaimed materials, from metals to gemstones, contributing to a sustainable and eco-friendly approach.
My passion is contagious, and I love sharing it with others. That’s why I offer individual and group workshops, allowing you to craft your own one-of-a-kind pieces. For businesses, I conduct workshops aimed at sparking creativity in the workplace and at home.

How it began
My journey into jewellery started as a young girl admiring my grandmother’s sparkling gems in an antique jewellery box. Unexpectedly, it led me to become a goldsmith. My creative journey involved various projects, from photography to arts and crafts, leading to goldsmithing, which captured my heart.
After moving to the Netherlands from South Africa, my interest in abstract art inspired me to explore jewellery creation. I began by isolating and enhancing small details from canvases, encasing them in jewellery settings covered with glass cabochons. A year later, I delved into metal clay, then extended my skills through two three-month goldsmithing courses, eventually enrolling in a branch-recognized study at Vakschool Schoonhoven. Since then, my passion has grown exponentially, culminating in my own jewellery and workshop websites.
