TJALLINGII was honoured to participate in the prestigious Milano Jewelry Week, where four one-of-a-kind statement rings were presented to an international audience of collectors, connoisseurs, and industry professionals. Milano Jewelry Week is internationally recognised as a leading platform for fine and high jewellery, bringing together designers, maisons, galleries, and collectors from around the world. To mark this special occasion, a dedicated brand film was created in Milan, capturing the atmosphere of the exhibition and the character of the four rings.

For my launch event at the magical garden Tuin de Lage Oorsprong in Oosterbeek, I created a short trailer that reflects what TJALLINGII is about. It tells the story of a woman who writes her own fairytale — not through rescue or validation, but through self-recognition and self-love. Just as my jewelry embraces gemstones with rare hues, shifting tones, and soft imperfections, this story is about finding beauty and strength in what makes us unique.
I was recently interviewed by Bizzita about my journey from the courtroom to the jeweler’s bench. In this conversation, I share how my background as a lawyer influences the way I see beauty, and how my designs aim to connect values with aesthetics. It was a pleasure to reflect on the path that brought me here, and I’m delighted to share the full story with you.
In collaboration with designer Sas de Vries I created a series of elegant goat leather pouches, inspired by the clean, modern lines of the princess cut diamond. Each pouch is entirely handcrafted in the Netherlands, a reflection of true craftsmanship and timeless design.
Every ring I make is part of a numbered series—unique, one of a kind, and created with the highest attention to detail. With each ring, I gift this matching numbered pouch, designed exclusively for that piece. It is a refined and sustainable alternative to traditional packaging, meant to complement the jewel while also standing as a work of design in its own right.
The complete presentation is as thoughtful as the jewel itself: the ring rests safely in a lacquered wooden box, accompanied by its certificate of authenticity, while the pouch offers an additional touch of artistry and character. Together, they form a lasting statement of beauty, craftsmanship, and care—made to be treasured for a lifetime.
Judith Woolderink (1981) studied law in Utrecht and is a practicing attorney. She runs her own law firm and specializes in environmental law. Additionally, under her maiden name Tjallingii, Judith designs an exceptional collection of one of a kind floral rings.
For Judith, combining these two worlds comes naturally. Her mind and heart are not separate but form a unified whole. This unity reflects her view of the law: there are no hard boundaries in law, as it is not static but often a matter of interpretation, intent, and balancing interests. Like a diamond, the law reveals a different reality from every perspective, requiring intelligence and creativity to navigate its facets. Judith blends this complexity with the brilliance of gemstones in her designs, a process she refers to as “aesthetic intelligence.”
