Behind the jeweller is Stéphane Lefébure, who has had a passion for precious metals since childhood.

In 2007, he was awarded the title of Artisan d'Art, a quality label awarded by a jury from the Office des métiers d'art du Brabant Wallon.

In Brussels, he met Rachel  "the Fiancée", and passed on to her his passion for creating jewellery.

From rings to long necklaces, earrings to bracelets, their creations are made exclusively from 925 sterling silver and 18-carat gold, and may be enhanced with natural stones.

Bestiaire Stars

The animal kingdom has long been a source of inspiration for both the visual arts and jewellery.

True to their philosophy of wearable contemporary jewellery, but also driven by a sense of humour and the offbeat, Hectare's gallery owners have selected six artists from near and far to put wildlife in the spotlight. Bestiaire Star ventures into disturbing, surprising and seductive territory, populated by hybrid creatures. The creations of Miriam Arentz, Monika Brugger, Benedikt Fischer, Lore Langendries, Märta Mattsson and Vivienne Varay play on attraction and repulsion, without avoiding the question of the materials used: imitated or real, reinvented or recycled. The bestiary - an educational picture book - becomes a cabinet of curiosities. Where the trivial is adorned with the precious, where the object becomes a story, where the familiar is hijacked and emboldened to the brink of the strange.
