While composing images for MAUKE V there was another mission which had to be accomplished as well. That was the moment a small lingerie collection was included and which she believes women would love to put their hands on. Maureen Vorswijk doesn’t follow any particular style, thoughts or rules but has created an own individual style. She draws from inner inspiration, from images of ancient times seeking their way through her mind into her hands, art, photography, old magazines, when looking at her family, her trips to Surinam and Nigeria, personal transformation and her obsession for beautiful things.

But the feeling she strives for is to create that piece of jewelry for her customers that makes them feel confident, feminine, strong the moment they put it on. Maureen launched her first collection Afrik & Silver in 2012 during LFW using materials such as sterling silver, 14 kt gold, a variety of handpicked gemstones from Africa and natural material asleather cords for her entirely handcrafted and hand-polished jewelries. Handmade headpieces and feather necklaces were included.  The foundation of MAUKE V Jewelry will always remain the same, the challenge to continue creating unique jewelry with a timeless appeal for women.
