Goldsmiths Joachim Bartz and Marcel Gorzawski talked about their relationship with couples, what fascinates them about their rings, and the advantages of a small workshop where each ring is painstakingly handcrafted with great attention to detail.
One couple decides to buy damask rings from your workshop. Some even come here in person and can discuss everything for their very personal wedding rings made of Damascus steel in a personal wedding ring conversation. How does such a conversation work?
JB: I like to start a wedding ring conversation by not putting any rings on the table at all, but by letting the couples first tell us what they like. In this way, each couple can set new and individual impulses with us.
What is special about your damask rings from a comparatively small workshop?
MG: One of our strengths is that we can make rings the way couples want them. It is precisely our strength that we can bring a lot of variation into the models despite the clarity of our range. Especially nice is always the personal contact to the couples…
…The couples come and trust us to make their rings and we don’t disappoint them. We made their rings the way they imagined. That makes things round for me. Then it’s all good.
JB: We’re happy when couples put their trust in us. You get it right. That always motivates me anew. The ambition to inspire the couple. In any case, in the end it has to be rings that touch the couple.
What is particularly fulfilling about your work in the workshop?
MG: I think a nice thought is also that a lot of the work I do now will outlive me and maybe be passed down from generation to generation.
JB: The moment I enjoy the most is when I finish my day in the workshop and revisit what I did that day.
Of course, when the rings are finished and you think they are perfect here in the workshop, the wrapping follows. How important is this moment for you?
MG: Of course it’s a very small, but still very important moment.
On the other hand, this moment is of course also very special. How do you imagine it? The moment when the couples unwrap their very personal and individual wedding rings made of Damascus steel.
JB: I would like the couples to be patient at the reception and unpack the rings together.
MG: The moment of unpacking should be and remain overwhelming and unforgettable for every couple.
JB: I see it similarly… The moment just has to be right, the experience has to be perfect.
