A piece of Bavaria to keep with you
The jewellery designer takes inspiration from his home between the Simssee and Chiemsee lakes. Summit crosses are full of symbolism for achieving goals and serve as a template for the jewellery creations.
From classic wedding rings and bracelets to pendants shaped like summit crosses and lederhosen pins for waistcoats—the Rosenheim native creates unique jewellery pieces, and focuses on his homeland in his designs. He is continuing an old tradition at the same time. Goldsmithing has been widespread in Bavaria since the 18th century.
