Two people, one story, two rings.
No rings from a catalogue. Every pair is made in my studio in Mannheim, from your story, by your hands, from your skin. Take a look around.
Three ideas for your ring
TXT Pieces
Your word, sawn from solid metal. Mirror-written on the outside, readable on the inside like an engraving. Silver, gold, rose gold.
Skin Pieces
Your partner’s fingerprint, captured in the ring. Felt on the inside. Close. Forever.
Lace Pieces
Hand-picked lace, cast in gold or silver. Light, playful, one of a kind.
Hi, I'm Andreas Zidek.
Goldsmith since 1995, in Mannheim since 2003. My pieces aren’t jewellery in the classic sense, but works that grow out of an encounter. That’s why every ring begins with a conversation: about you, your idea of happiness, and what should last.
The gold I work with comes from certified recycled sources. Gold alone won’t make anyone happy, but it shouldn’t make anyone unhappy either.
How your ring comes to life
- Getting to know you
You come to the studio, see my work and tell me about yourselves. - Designing
Together we find your motif (a word, a fingerprint or lace) and the right material. - Crafting
I make your rings by hand, each one on its own. - Collecting
You pick up your rings at the studio.
Or: forge them yourselves.
In the goldsmith course for couples, you make your rings with your own hands. I’ll guide you step by step, and no previous experience is needed. A shared moment you’ll wear on your finger forever.
