I craft my jewelry with the utmost care, by hand and with a clear conscience. As a certified member of GYR Edelmetalle AG, I use recycled gold, also known as eco-gold. This allows my customers and I to protect the environment and natural resources. All pieces of jewelry are unique and created according to individual designs.

About
I was born in Zurich and grew up in Sudan and on Lake Zurich. I developed an interest in art and design at an early age. After four years of training in Küsnacht, I obtained my federal goldsmith's diploma in 1980. A year later, I moved to Southern California, where I worked as a designer and workshop manager at Bosshard/JFA Designs in Costa Mesa and Silverhorn in Santa Barbara. In 1993, I founded my own studio in Santa Barbara. In the fall of 2010, I moved back to Küsnacht, where I took over my mentor's goldsmith studio. My work has won seven design awards. My artworks have been exhibited in museums such as the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, California.
I design and create unique pieces such as engagement and wedding rings according to customer specifications. By hand and with the finest materials. The process of turning your idea into a personalized, handcrafted piece of jewelry or accessory begins with a sketch on paper. I draw by hand, whether it's for modifying or reusing an existing piece or for creating a new one. I pay close attention to the highest quality in materials and craftsmanship. Most of the work is done by me, but for highly specialized tasks, I work with skilled partners with whom I have long-standing relationships.
