This ring marked the completion of my training—and may well be the most intricate piece I’ve ever made.
At its center: a flawless aquamarine cut in the complex “Ophelia” design, originally created for a 25 mm gem. I took on the challenge of adapting it to just 10 mm, faceting the stone myself with meticulous precision—each facet a dance in microns.
Hand-forged from 14k white gold, the open shank enhances the clarity of the triangular form, letting the stone seem to float above the hand.
A single tone—framed in silver, carried by grenadilla wood, touched with mother-of-pearl. That’s how this story begins. Simple. And yet, it ends in a miniature sculpture unlike any other.
The commission came from a clarinetist with a sharp ear and an even sharper sense for symbolism: his favorite note, embedded in an arrangement of opals—each color a sound fragment, each shape a rhythm of his personal music. The stones are joined with shimmering mother-of-pearl, a material that dances between light and shadow like no other.
Admittedly, no ordinary jewelry store would have taken this on. But I’m not an ordinary jewelry store.
So if you have an idea you can’t google—something between tonewood and gemstone, between memory and dream—write me. No matter how strange it sounds. That’s usually when I have the most fun.
This ring was a custom piece for a watch enthusiast who wasn't satisfied with mere mechanics. Set between bog oak and epoxy resin lies a tiny cosmos of vintage watch parts—gears, hands, balance wheels—each one a miniature tribute to the precision of times past.
The inlay: stainless steel—cool and crisp—contrasting the warmth and depth of the oak. And yet, it seems alive: under shifting light, the gears almost move, as if time itself still ticks inside this ring.
Most jewelers would’ve passed. I didn’t. I just said: bring it on.
So if you have something in mind that sits somewhere between memory and madness—a symbol, an obsession, a story—tell me. I’ll turn it into metal, wood, and resin. Promise.
One-of-a-kind men’s ring with embedded watch parts, stainless steel, bog oak, and resin.
Some rings tell a story. This one tells yours.
A dream ring, made to your specifications: You choose the wood—from an olive branch from your vacation to a bog oak from your homeland. You choose the gemstone—faceted, luminous, and unmistakable. And in the center, a stainless steel inlay, which I polish, blacken, or gold-plate—whichever you prefer.
Whether simple, wild, or symbolically charged—this isn't an off-the-shelf ring. This is yours.
And yes: There's a fixed price. No surprises, except the good ones.
This labradorite, which shimmers blue, green and yellow in the sunlight, was cut by me into the shape of a three-sided prism with a slightly convex front. The setting for this gemstone consists of 5 parts. In contrast to the gemstone, pink "Chakte Kok". Three parts of "Grenadill", black as night, provide a stable structure. The back is made of tough "cocobolo" which is not only comfortable on the skin, but also has a beautiful grain in its deep dark brown. A thin layer of "carnauba wax" protects the wood from moisture and maintains its shine. The eyelet is made of stainless steel. A magnetic clasp on the ends of the leather strap makes it easy for the wearer to put the piece of jewelry on and off.
A ring made of "Golden Madrone", a beautiful wood that shimmers golden in the sunlight. For reasons of stability I have enclosed it in anthracite-colored metal. The ~ 3mm large, faceted tourmaline was securely attached to the ring using a donut setting. The wood was coated with a layer of "carnauba wax" to keep its shine. It is part of a collection of rings that I made in summer 2020. Since the ring size varies from person to person, rings that are ordered from us are made to match the customer's needs. The grain of the wood differs from ring to ring, but we only use the best wood quality and make sure that the pattern matches the workpiece as closely as possible! The desired number of facets in the stone is also up to the customer.
A round cut agate geode, in juniper. It was not easy to bring this gemstone into this shape in spite of its druse in the manner of cabochon cutting. Not only because the individual layers of the agate are of different hardness, but also because the "hole" makes the stone fragile. Therefore I had to put a lot of tenderness into the processing. To match the stone, I made a protective ring from juniper. It was a birthday present for a good friend, unfortunately almost impossible to reproduce due to the unusual grain of wood and stone.
Helvetica Light is a font that is easy to read with long and thin letters and goes well with any website.
"A" fountain pen, or should I say "my" fountain pen? You don't always want to type on the computer, at the latest for the signature you still need a "manual" writing tool. And why should you be satisfied with cheap plastic when you can make writing a pleasure with a nib made of the finest Thuja burl?
Why smoke cigarettes out of the pack when you can light up a pipe with relish? A pipe bowl made of briar, the root of the tree shark, gives the smoke a sweet, woody smell. Holm oak makes a sturdy center piece, adorned with a dentriet opal from the Waldviertel. Snakewood is rock hard, and makes a good wood for the mouthpiece, especially for everyone who likes to nibble on their pipe;)
I found this old reading lamp in my attic. Unfortunately, the foot could no longer be found. So I made a new one out of a piece of tree sheath and acacia. Because you don't always have to buy something new if you can artistically create something new and unique from the old.
When climbing and bouldering in the higher degrees of difficulty, the holds become smaller and more difficult to hold. This requires enormous finger strength, which can best be trained with the help of a hangboard. While plastic is not really comfortable to hold, you hardly want to let go of this handmade board made of acacia wood. The grip surfaces were deliberately roughened for an ideal hold. The surface was polished and treated with linseed oil. A decorative tiger's eye in the middle gives everyone who believes in it the strength and endurance of a tiger. ;)
