A Note From Famke
“Since becoming a mom, I’ve gained a deep appreciation for time!
Between work, workouts, family and friendships - my days are full, and I often have to shift between roles seamlessly.
I love being active and spending time outdoors. I workout 3 times a week, run races and never turn down a cold plunge - but that kind of lifestyle isn’t always kind to delicate jewellery.
Sweat, water and constant movement can take their toll and that’s where our new Tarnish Proof Collection comes in." - Famke, Founder and Owner of Famke Jewellery
