about stefan


Hi, I am Stefan!

I fell in love with gems and jewelry as a teenager.
My first journeys outside Europe took me to Morocco, Egypt, Israel, Nepal, Japan, Mongolia, and Bali, where I was captivated by the creativity of the gold- and silversmiths.
At that time, I had my first self-designed jewelry made — a passion that has fascinated me ever since.

I also discovered my second great passion: observing social interactions for hours, sometimes even days. This curiosity later led me to study Anthropology.

To this day, I am drawn to these two realms. In other words, one could say that the very combination of the rational and the irrational sides of life keeps me exploring our wonderful world every day.
