Mar 25 Ep. 49: Expanding the legacy of a heritage Indian jewelry brand with Noelle Van Gelder

Art, Jewellery, Entrepreneurship, Culture

A Dutch family’s love affair with heritage Indian jewellery began with their mother Bernadette and continues on with my latest guest Noelle Van Gelder and her sister Fleur. The challenges of finding and valuing vintage fine jewellery in India makes this family’s commitment to their work truly remarkable. Noelle takes us behind the scenes of how this unique family business based between the Netherlands and Jaipur was built and how she and her sister Fleur are strengthening it with their contemporary interpretation of the stunning heritage pieces they collect and study.
