Authenticity in the way we create jewellery is of the upmost importance to us. We describe our practise as ‘Design vom Handwerk’ (‘Design by Craft’). This refers to our continuation and development of the art of the traditional jewellery maker – designing and making, with precious materials, by hand, at the bench.
