About

At Goldammer Jewelry, we value quality and authenticity. All pieces have a distinct feel that mass-produced items can’t match and I enjoy creating jewelry that lets others appreciate the skill behind it.

About Me 

I originally considered studying Egyptology as a kid, but instead pursued a degree in mechanical engineering and automation. Internships in Germany introduced me to metalwork, sparking an interest I couldn’t ignore.

While living in Hamburg, I took a  ring making class that rekindled my enthusiasm for working with metal. A few years after moving to California, I was lucky enough to find a jewelry class with a master jeweler and have been attending regularly since 2019, refining my skills there ever since.

Goldammer Jewelry is the result—solid gold and silver pieces shaped with geometric designs and texture. I aim to create jewelry that’s unique and made to last, reflecting the care and precision I’ve learned along the way.

What does Goldammer mean? 

The name "Goldammer," German for Yellowhammer—a small songbird—connects to my roots and love for birds. The logo blends a ball peen hammer with a bird, a subtle nod you’ll catch if you look closely.
