The Perfection of Imperfection. What has intrigued me in my work as a goldsmith for over 20 years is the continuous reinterpretation of wearable jewellery and pushing the boundaries of traditional goldsmithing techniques. For my latest collection, I directly set the gemstones in liquid gold, allowing the materials to form a connection that embraces beautiful irregularities. Recycling gemstones and gold from old jewellery is a particular concern of mine, as it conserves valuable resources and gives forgotten treasures a new shine.

They represent a contemporary reinterpretation of the opulent beauty of a bygone era, seamlessly blending the past with the present.

In 2019, I was honored with the Ebbe Weiss-Weingart Silver Prize at the Silbertriennale International and the 19th Competition of the German Society for Goldsmithing in Hanau for my hollowware. I was also nominated for the Danner Prize in 2023. Here, too, my focus is on the beauty of imperfection … the beauty of organic forms that should resonate more with us humans than smooth, standardized shapes.
