the story
The Tiny Amsterdam collection is my little tribute to this beautiful city. As soon as you arrive in Central Station, the city will welcome you with the impressive view of a giant, multi-story bike parking facility. Often ranked as the most bike-friendly city in the world, Amsterdam has over 880,000 bikes, more than its population! Dutchies are mad about their bikes... wind, rain, and even snow won't stop them from cycling. When you're in town and about to cross a street look both sides of the road not once, or twice, but repeatedly until you're safely on the other side of the street because bikes come out of nowhere! :D
I chose to make an "oma fiets" (grandma bike) which is the most popular bike style you will see in Amsterdam.
how it's made
I've made this model meticulously by hand using traditional silversmithing techniques, no 3D printing involved! Then, I cast them in 925 Silver in small batches and finish them by hand. To add some cuteness, the super tiny wheels of this bike can spin! (Also available in 14kt by request)

Chain length: 15" (38cm), ~16" (40cm) or ~18" (45cm). If you need a different length just let me know!
