Exclusive designs and Outstanding quality

Both are stainless quality steels. Their applications are very diverse, as are their properties. My stainless steels are excellent to polish, hypoallergenic, recycled, and nickel free to the extent that it will never come in contact with your skin.

Also called Damascus, derived from the Arabic Dimashq, refers to a composite of usually two different types of steel that have a clear structure after an etching treatment. I use two different types of damascus steels in my jewelry: Austenitic damascus steels and Martensitic damascus steels. The former are softer and the contrast between the layers is smaller, but are stainless. The latter have a higher contrast because they are hardened. However, you should always take care of them and avoid exposing them to permanent wetness and humidity.

Titanium is a light metal that sees its main application as an alloying element in steels, as well as in protective equipment and in aerospace. It is very resistant to most acids and, as alloyed titanium, has high strength. I work with a wide range of titanium alloys as well as titanium composites, which can be beautifully colored when thermally treated.

Zirconium is chemically very similar to titanium. It is a very corrosion resistant heavy metal that finds its application as an alloying element in reactor construction, as a component in joint prostheses and in the space and aviation industry. Zirconium should never be confused with the mineral zircon. After appropriate heat treatment, zirconium has a very scratch-resistant black-greyish surface.

Tantalum is the rarest stable element in the solar system. Its name is derived from the mythological figure Tantalus (=kursiv!). It was first used as a filament in incandescent lamps, which are nowadays made of tungsten. The color of tantalum is purple-gray and its melting point of 3000°C is the fourth highest of all elements.
