The jewellery profession is in Christophe's blood. His great-grandfather Frans Van den Neucker began cutting and selling diamonds back in 1911. His grandfather Louis continued that tradition. His father Jacques Van den Neucker launched a collection of handmade jewellery and produced pieces that were affordable for everyone. Christophe, who is Jacques' son, then opened his own jewellery store and workshop in Ghent – Christofelli. Custom jewellery making, carrying out repairs and selling gemstones to match the customer's budget are still the stock-in-trade of his business.
