Lauren Versnick (27) launches her first jewelery collection, LAUVE, together with the Belgian Diamanti per Tutti. Nice detail: the jewels are all named after people who are close to Versnick’s heart, including Olga Leyers and Lize Feryn.

Feminine strength is central to the collection. Each jewel was named after an important woman in Versnick’s life. The name ‘LAUVE’ was therefore not chosen by chance: it is a contraction of Lauren and Love (love). “Resilience is the common denominator among all the women I look up to,” says Versnick. “They never give up. After a setback, they pick themselves up again and continue. Tireless. A wonderful thing, I think.”
For example, you have the Olga Necklace. “This necklace is dedicated to Olga Leyers. She never pretends to be anything other than what she is. She takes life with both hands and goes for it. I find that wonderfully inspiring,” says Versnick. The necklace, which has a price tag of 180 euros, is a double hoop with diamond claw ornament, in a delicate play of shiny and brushed textures.

Also in the collection: the Lynn Ring, named after Lauren’s mother Lynn Wesenbeek. In addition, the Anette Single Earring, which was approved by Lauren’s favorite aunt Anette. The ring with three seductive garnet stones is also named after an aunt.
“My grandmother taught nursing school. Anette and Rita were two students she became close friends with. When my grandfather died, my Moenie was suddenly all alone. Anette and Rita have proposed to move in with her and take care of her son together. So my daddy was raised by three very strong women. They are my aunts by choice, not by blood.”
The Lauren Versnick x Diamanti Per Tutti collection is for sale on the website of . from Tuesday 8 September Diamonds For Everyone.
