Bespoke Jewelry – Designed for You
A piece that is not only worn – but carries meaning.
Perhaps you are at a turning point.
Perhaps you want to honor a new beginning.
Perhaps you are looking for a symbol — something that reminds you, strengthens you, makes visible what matters to you.
In my studio, nothing is “off the shelf.”
Each piece is a unique creation, developed through dialogue, handcrafted with care and precision,
created to hold significance, worn with intention.
Is Bespoke Jewelry Right for You?
You do not need a finished idea yet.
A feeling, a milestone, or a quiet intention is enough.
Clarity develops during the process.
A bespoke piece is right for you if:
-
You want to consciously honor a transition, achievement, milestone or new beginning
-
You’re looking for meaningful jewelry with personal symbolism
-
You value craftsmanship, quality, and individuality over mass production
-
You appreciate a guided, respectful, and thoughtful design process
This isn’t a quick purchase.
It is a consciously created piece designed to accompany you for years to come.
How Your Piece Comes to Life – The Process
Transparency builds trust.
That’s why the process is clearly structured – yet open to what wants to emerge.
1. Initial Consultation (complimentary, 20–30 min.)
We explore your vision:
• What should this piece represent?
• What mood, symbol, or material resonates with you?
• What timeframe and investment feels right?
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Sometimes it starts with a simple phrase:
“I want something that reminds me of…” or “It should embody courage.”
2. Concept & Initial Sketches
Based on our conversation, I develop initial ideas:
• Sketches or descriptions of the form
• Suggestions for symbolism, materials (silver, gold plating, stones)
• Details about size, wearability, engravings
We refine everything together until it feels truly aligned.
⏱️ Timeline: You’ll receive initial designs 1–2 weeks after our first conversation.
3. Commission & Final Refinements
Once you’ve chosen a design:
• You receive a binding proposal (price, timeline, details)
• After your approval, the handcrafted work begins
• For complex pieces, I’ll share progress photos along the way
4. Handcrafted Creation (3–6 weeks)
In my workshop, your piece is crafted entirely by hand:
• Modeling, shaping, and texturing the silver
• Firing at over 1,470°F (800°C)
• Grinding, polishing, stone setting (if applicable)
• Every detail approached with care and precision
5. Delivery – Your Moment
You can receive your piece:
✓ in person at my studio in Mannheim, Germany
(with tea or coffee and time to experience your finished piece)
✓ or via insured shipping
In the end, you hold a personal creation in your hands – a piece made only for you.
Investment & Pricing Framework
What does a bespoke piece cost?
It depends on your individual vision.
For initial guidance – pieces are created at different levels of complexity:
🔹 Smaller pendants & simple rings
For symbolic, delicate pieces | Entry level
🔹 Medium-sized pieces with stones or detailed symbolism
Individual expression with deeper craftsmanship | Mid-range
🔹 Complex unique pieces with multiple elements
For significant life moments and intricate designs | Higher investment
🔹 Logo jewelry & company emblems
Based on size, detail level, and quantity | Individually calculated
🔹 Wedding rings (pair)
Depending on width, engraving, and design preferences | Starting mid-range
The final price is influenced by:
• Materials (silver, gold plating, gemstones – prices vary)
• Complexity of form and detail level
• Labor involved (firing processes, fine work, settings)
How do I learn my specific price?
In the complimentary consultation (20–30 min.), we discuss your vision.
I provide a realistic estimate based on current material costs and the individual scope of work.
After the design phase, you receive a binding proposal.
You then decide at your own pace whether the investment feels right.
No pressure, no hidden costs – only clarity and respect.
Examples from My Work
Each piece begins with a conversation, a personal story.
Some are bold and clear, others are quiet and symbolic.
What connects them is their intention for meaning – realized in pure silver through artistic modeling techniques. This gallery shows examples of styles, symbols, and forms that may inspire your own design.
If a particular mood or motif speaks to you,
it can become the starting point for your own unique piece.
Logo Jewerly – Your Symbol Made Wearable
Your logo, initials, or emblem can become a wearable expression of your identity –
timeless, clear, and handcrafted.
Who is logo jewelry for?
• Entrepreneurs who want to personally embody their brand
• Teams seeking a shared symbol (e.g., for events, conferences)
• Family crests or emblems as heirlooms
• Gifts for special occasions (company anniversaries, milestones)
If you’d like to transform your symbol into jewelry, it’s a powerful next step.
Logo jewelry price range: starting at $450 / €400
(depending on size, detail complexity, and gold plating)
Frequently Aked Questions
How long does the creation take?
Typically 3–6 weeks from commission confirmation.
For time-sensitive occasions (birthdays, weddings), we discuss options in the initial consultation.
What if I don’t like the finished piece?
Since we develop the entire process together (sketches, progress updates), the result is always aligned. If adjustments are needed, we discuss them transparently.
Can I choose gold or other materials?
Yes! While I primarily work in silver, I can also apply gold plating or collaborate with goldsmiths. We clarify what’s possible in the initial consultation.
Do I need to meet in person?
No. The entire process can happen via video call, email, and phone.
Many of my clients are international.
What if I don’t have a concrete idea yet?
Perfect! That’s exactly what the initial consultation is for.
Sometimes a feeling, a word, or an occasion is enough – we develop the form together.
How do I pay?
After commission confirmation, you receive a deposit invoice (typically 50%).
The remaining balance is due upon completion/delivery.
Payment via bank transfer or by arrangement.
