I decided to make jewelry using the Vanda orchids by Anco because I think it is a flower with exceptional features. First of all it is beauty, with its exceptional colors, also its shape and its incredible resistance are ideal to be able to wear. So i've created these jewels that show the contrast between the efhemeral beauty, the lightness and fragility of a true flower. Beauty and sense of eternal and lasting that gold and diamonds can give.

ALL ABOUT THE VANDA FROM ANCO…

I still remember the exact moment and place that I first caught sight of the purple Vanda orchids. It must be a good 10 years ago. It was love at first sight… the beautiful, clear, blue/purple colour, the pronounced, strong shape and the captivating flower texture fascinated me immediately. Since that moment I have been enjoying using them for both large projects and for day to day floristry in the shop. The excellent ‘shelf life’ of the flowers give an additional benefit… less maintenance for larger projects and customers that are delighted with the flower arrangements. At the Floralien 2000 Gent, I used large quantities of purple Vanda, hanging them in structures over 3 light boxes just like dazzled/dazzlingly beautiful nocturnal butterflies that are attracted towards the light. Since then the Vanda has been seen as my signature because everybody now knows that the beautiful Vanda orchid is one of my greatest passions. I also love using them in bridal work – they lend themselves perfectly to light structures and, if they are supported correctly, stay fresh for a long time without water.
