Felicitas Seidler: Jewellery Through an Architect’s Eye
Felicitas Seidler designs jewellery rooted in geometry. A portrait of the Berlin goldsmith and her work between the bench and digital design.
At a Glance
- Berlin goldsmith Felicitas Seidler brings an architect’s eye to geometric jewellery, creating contrasts and silhouettes that change with the viewing angle.
- Made in small quantities in her Berlin studio, her pieces combine traditional goldsmithing, casting and digital production, mainly using recycled 925 sterling silver.
- For clients seeking bespoke jewellery, including engagement and wedding rings, Seidler also works with gold and, on request, Fairmined gold.
A sphere beside an edge, a fine line beside a substantial volume: Felicitas Seidler builds her jewellery around such contrasts. The Berlin goldsmith and designer studied architecture. Its influence is particularly evident where a design departs from conventional symmetry. When worn, the silhouette changes with the viewing angle.
From Design to the Workbench
Seidler makes her pieces in small quantities in her own Berlin studio. Traditional goldsmithing techniques sit alongside casting and digital production methods. For her collections, she mainly uses recycled 925 sterling silver, sometimes with 18-carat gold plating. The studio collects precious metal remnants and returns them to the material cycle.
Designs That Evolve
Existing ranges remain in the collection and are complemented by variations and new pieces. This allows jewellery from different ranges to be combined, pairing a delicate pendant with a bolder form, for example. For bespoke designs, including engagement and wedding rings, Seidler also works with gold and, on request, Fairmined gold.
For one-of-a-kind pieces, work begins with a sketch. The task remains the same as for the collection: to find a clear form that gives both the material and the person wearing the piece room to express themselves.
