Joëlle Van de Voorde is the Belgian accessory and jewel designer who created the label in 1999.
She studied Monumental Sculpture at the “Royal Academy of Fine Arts” before setting her eyes on jewelry making. In 2001, she opened her showroom in Brussels and she soon began exporting her collection world- wide, to France, Italy, England, New Zealand, Australia, USA, Japan…
She has won several awards and consolidated her love for the contemporary art with her talent to create a range of pieces recognizable by its original design and its subtle mix of colors.

Le souvenir d’un grand-père orfèvre a nourri mon imagination. Une formation en bijouterie contemporaine à Anvers a ouvert la voie tout en me confortant dans mes choix. Dès ses débuts la galerie s’est voulue une vitrine du bijou d’aujourd’hui, un laboratoire créatif, où cohabitent pièces uniques et séries limitées.
Chaque créateur traduit son époque dans un langage qui lui est propre. Je laisse la matière me guider et aime m’exprimer à travers elle en étant à son écoute.
Formes de nos jours et de toujours, mes bijoux puisent leur force dans leur simplicité.
Penser les choses et leur donner forme… Quand une idée se voit ainsi matérialisée et qu’elle prend vie sur le corps, la magie opère.
Wouters & Hendrix stands for authenticity, sensitivity, playfulness, eccentricity and pure Belgian craftsmanship. Driven by their heritage of impeccable artistry and fuelled by infinite creativity, Karen and Katrin continue their pursuit of innovation and artistic collaboration.
Most of the time, their approach in designing a collection is impulsive rather than rational. They tend to just get going and see where it will take them. This often means visiting a bookshop, museum or exhibition to soak up inspiration, or travelling to another city to clear their minds.
For over 30 years Wouters & Hendrix have stood for the uninterrupted and diligent creation of jewelry. Today, no less than 70 collections have come into being, all with different stories and a string of haunting names such as: Stones for Wilma, Healing Jewelry, Ex Voto, Les Désirs de Désirée …
With everything they create and every collection they have made, they embrace the mystery of everyday life, which reveals a whole universe at first glance.
History is what the present is to tomorrow. With that idea in mind, Wouters & Hendrix collected thirty years of legacy in five uniquely designed time capsules. Each capsule contains statement artefacts that will stand the test of time. Without holding onto the past, and yet keeping its finger on the pulse of today’s zeitgeist, Wouters & Hendrix is looking forward to the future. Against the backdrop of the digital revolution, each capsule was translated into a short 3D film directed by the young visual artist Frederik Heyman.
Just as every jewel in the Wouters & Hendrix universe is created with thought and care and is the result of a unique balance between traditional craftsmanship and today’s trends, fusing the fleetingness of video art with the longevity of jewelry art is another manifestation of their sense of postmodernism. Likewise, the idea of preserving thirty years of Wouters & Hendrix in time capsules can be regarded as a futurist act. While the feasibility of electronic and magnetic storage media being preserved into the distant future may be hotly debated, history has proved that jewels stand the test of time.
