The total collection comprises sixteen necklaces, three brooches and five rings.
A highlight is the necklace 'For the mother of Van Gogh', in possession of the Van Goghhuis in Zundert.
From 30 March 2013 these ornaments can be seen in the
Vincentre, the Van Gogh Centre in Nuenen, the village where in 1885 Vincent van Gogh painted 'The Potato Eaters'.
In 2013 Bostor Publicaties published "Frans Beelen visits van Gogh", in which all the ornaments are shown together with the sources of inspiration: paintings and texts of Van Gogh (language: Dutch).
