Intro
The Françoise van den Bosch Foundation is named after the Dutch jewelry designer Françoise van den Bosch (1944-1977) and was established in 1980 by family members, colleagues and friends of Françoise in memory of her. In the spirit of Françoise, who as a young jewelry designer made such an impression with her innovative and unconventional approach to goldsmithing, the Foundation is committed to giving young, early and mid-career jewelry designers the opportunity to develop their artistic practice.
