Where stories become timeless art

Jewelry is more than just an accessory; it is the embodiment of personal stories and emotions, nostalgia and memories. Characteristics of a time are reflected, it is trend and sets trends and is yet timeless.

CRAFT AND POETRY
The ideas and collections are created in my Berlin workshop with the utmost care and attention to detail. Metal is the perfect material for me - developing - designing - creating - the process allows almost every form of expression with seemingly endless possibilities based on a profound understanding.
I work exclusively with high-quality silver and gold alloys and selected gemstones.
It was challenging but a needed experierience to go out of the traditional patterns of my education and connect the knowledge with the free creative spirit. Craft is the foundation but only one piece of the puzzle. Finding a poetry is what it is about for me.

POWER OF THE FORM
It is intensive work to the techniques and a lot of work to make a piece of jewelry by hand.
I work very classically with the material, concentrating above all on the form. Therein lies the strength to create timelessness and originality. I call it the power of the form, the possibility to transform organic shapes into unconventional pieces of jewelry. The end result is a clarity that creates space for the essentials.

MINIMALISM
The artistic character of the entire collection blurs the boun. It is a kind of melange of minimalist and very comfortable pieces that may be a daily companion in life. In contrast, there are unique pieces for special occasions that follow the free hand of the author.
I also gladly accept individual commissions. The joint brainstorming up to the finished piece is a very inspiring process and a guarantee for satisfaction on all sides. Jewelry is very unique and belongs to a person for a long time, so it should fit the person completely.

SUSTAINABILITY
Statement jewelry means a commitment to sustainable raw materials. The purchase of the material is transparently traceable through clear proofs of origin.
