The house

One family has worked in silver since 1890. More than 130 years later, the name still stands for the same thing: pieces cut by hand and made to last.

Value

The masters

Some of these hands are gone. Their designs will not be cut again.

Several pieces here come from masters who have passed away. Each design lives only in the silver they left behind.

That is why two pieces of the same weight can stand far apart in value.
