Contemporary Art Dealer, Gallery Sofie Van De Velde Reason why — Gift to self as part of endorsement

“I had to adjust to the idea that I deserved this piece of art for myself. The Lion gives me strength & reminds me every day to enjoy life more.”

“I am beyond grateful for the incredible experience I had with Elliot & Ostrich in creating my custom ring. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my story and turned it into a beautiful, personal piece of jewelry. The blue stone, my birthstone, feels like a symbol of my roots, grounding me in who I am. The green stones represent my brother, who is no longer with us, and they are a constant reminder of his presence in my life.

The white diamonds, carefully placed in the design, embody the strength I need when negotiating art deals — a little extra power when I need it most. But what truly stands out is the lion dark blue and white motif of the ring. Every time I wear it, I am reminded to let go and enjoy life more.

Elliot & Ostrich didn’t just create a ring—they captured my essence, my story, and my emotions in a way that exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
