As a young graduate, he apprenticed for two years in Hatton Gardens, London's renowned jewelry district. Adventure then called young Cornelis to Johannesburg, South Africa, the diamond and gold capital of the world, where he opened his own studio and started designing jewelry.

Over the years, Hollander's natural talent was refined by education, travel, and diversified cultural experiences. Today he is one of the premiere jewelry designers in the world. When asked how he comes up with new design ideas, he replies, "It's like poetry. When a poet sees beautiful scenery, a poem naturally flows into his mind. Just by looking at a beautiful gemstone, I can envision the finished piece. That's why I say creativity is akin to a waterfall - all of the elements fall together."
