Ruudt Peters has, through the years, been drawn to mysticism, and this can be traced in all the jewellery collections thoughout his career. His jewellery is certainly full of symbolic references, acquiring meaning for both himself and the observer. The works find their way between alchemy and related philosophies. There is a whole world to discover when observing his works from the different collections: Ouroboros, Lapis, Pneuma, Interno, Iosis, Azoth, Sefiroth.
