schmuckwerk

1965 Birth of Markus Schmidt in Esslingen, Germany
1984–1987 Trained as a goldsmith, then studied business administration
1994 Heike and Markus Schmidt founded “schmuckwerk” in Ratingen near Düsseldorf

schmuckwerk’s inventive collections are created in the historical setting of an old paper mill established in 1852. Names such as “Clouds”, “Rattles”, “Cliff” or “Twines” allude to jewelry experiences that titillate our senses. Everything revolves around pearls and diamonds in the schmuckwerk manufactory, which continuously surprises the jewelry world with innovative designs and ideas such as the gentle sound produced by the Rattles pearl ring with the wearer’s every movement. In other jewelry lines too, the focus is on more than just discreet aesthetics. All of schmuckwerk’s pieces aim at the wearers’ sense of touch and sometimes even at their sense of hearing. Thus, Heike and Markus Schmidt and their team invite women to occupy themselves with jewelry and experience something new.
