My name is Stephen Tjon; in English 'Tjon' would be 'Chang', so my name would be Stephen Chang ; ) and I recently started with the art of goldsmithing and jewelry design. Actually I am a professional viola player, but I always had a lot of interests in art, jewelry, gemstones and antiques. I became very passionate, partially because of the good work and encouragement of my teachers Bernarda Roelofs, Nancy Roeters and Laurens van Ren. And last year I was accepted to the Dutch School of Gold and Silversmithing in Schoonhoven, where I am having a great time! The name Esteban, which is a reference to my South-American background (I was born in Surinam), is the Spanish version of my name and means 'crown'. But also literally means 'child of the sun' in the Mayan language. I hope you'll like my designs - at this moment I'm experimenting with various techniques and combinations of materials. I realise that there is much still to learn and to discover : ) Don't hesitate to leave a personal comment should you wish to do so. The handmade jewelry shown here is for sale, unless mentioned otherwise. Variations or adaptations to match your personal liking will be, of course, no problem at all. Tell me what you like, and I'll do my best to realize a unique design completely to your personal taste! I wish you all a nice visit to my blog. All pieces are unique and of course handmade. Just click on the pictures to enlarge them. Thanks for watching, and all the best from the beautiful city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands! ciao, Stephen; http://estebanjewelrydesign.blogspot.com/ Esteban Jewelry Design
