Goldsmiths in Vorarlberg:SchmuckElster

As if it were a thief. The magpie is one of the most intelligent non-human creatures. And it’s said to have a penchant for very special pieces of jewelry. Given Katrin’s lovingly crafted one-of-a-kind pieces, it’s hard to blame her for that. The self-proclaimed “Schmuckelster” creates rings, necklaces, and other jewelry out of passion in her small goldsmith’s workshop in Bregenz. 

In doing so, she not only creates new favorite pieces but also takes on old, cherished items and gives them a new form for life’s big moments. It goes without saying that wedding rings, in particular, are part of Katrin’s repertoire. They are the most important symbol of a wedding. They represent everlasting love between two people and therefore deserve special attention. 

Katrin sees her jewelry as special companions in everyday life. After all, they’re close to us—they rest directly against our skin. They tell the stories that life writes: emotions, love, loss, and connection. 

What’s more, Katrin is deeply committed to the sustainability of her jewelry. Recycled materials, fair-trade gemstones from certified mines, and resource-efficient manufacturing all contribute to that sense of well-being. Because jewelry should feel good and feel right. Just right. That’s SchmuckElster.
