... of course also with diamonds, precious gemstones and pearls. You are welcome to visit her studio or browse through a selection of her beautiful new collection here and now.
Claudia is dedicated to work with almost paper thin sheets of metall. Minute and delicate multiple elements are combined to unique creations of seductive charme, including
brooches, rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets or bangles.
You may choose from her wide variety of exciting designs or commssion a unique piece of jewellery, meticulously handcrafted and finished.
The abundancy of nature is what inspires Claudia most. Delicate veins of leaves, the fascinating structure of plants or even a rainy walk at night might stimulate her design process. It is often the unexpected which arouses her attention and generates solely unique and unmistakable creations.
Claudia‘s jewellery is full of joy, light and of a surprising ease. For her jewellery is about celebrating life, which is reflected in her almost playful, elegant and delicate designs. Her jewellery still maintains an aura of the unexpected as she plays with scale, movement or details of natural forms, all beautifully handcrafted. For her the work process is almost like meditation and most satisfying when a piece is finally completed in the eye of the observer.
The indoor Advent fair at Koppel 66 offers stylish craftsmanship with design standards. This year it starts a week before the 1st Advent, on Friday, 24.11. (and remains closed on the Sunday of the Dead, 26.11.). You can reach me as usual in jewelry studio 7 on the 1st floor of the Koppel. I am there for you during the week and on all Advent weekends and look forward to your visit.
We have invited a hand-picked selection of artisans from local studios to offer exceptional gift ideas in our spacious stairwell.

The invitation to participate an art exhibition in Flensburg came as a surprise, as in times of Covid 19 such events are rare.
Oliver Berking, Head of the internationaly renounced silverware manufacturers Robbe and Berking had a vision when the easing of measures started. Parallel to the re- opening of his classic wharf he invited 60 fine artists, artisans and designers from northern Germany, to exhibit their works alongside beautiful wooden yachts. The atmosphere is unique! Thanks to a very clever hygiene concept, we all very much enjoyed inspirational talks and exchange as well as meeting others at the opening.
For most of the werkends I will be at my stall and would very much like to meet you there.

Finally temperatures dropped and winter arrived. Amazing how a few inches of snow can calm down city life. What a brilliant atmosphere to sit down and design new jewellery for spring! Inspiration is everywhere: small twigs, seed pods or blossoms, which I collected last autumn spark a „creative chaos“ all around me.
I would also like to thank all my customers for a wonderful and prosperous 2015. I very much enjoyed to work on so many interesting and challenging projects!
Encouraged by the positive response form my new website I extended my internet presence recently. Now you can also browse through a fine selection of my work on the brand new internet portal ´Productmate´.
