Handwerkskunst - Hans D. Krieger

Selection of stones

Before a stone enters our atelier, it undergoes a precise examination.
At Krieger, the authenticity and natural origin of every diamond is verified using advanced testing methods.
Only stones that meet our standards in clarity, colour and proportion are selected for further work.

Design

Timeless form with a refined signature.
Every design begins with a defined sense of proportion and form.
From hand-drawn sketches to digital studies, each piece follows clear principles of balance and intention.
Our approach combines traditional techniques with modern tools to create designs that are precise, characterful and unmistakably Krieger.

Diamond Cutting

A diamond reveals its character through the precision of its cut.
Only when angle, depth and symmetry are in balance does it unfold its full brilliance.
Our cutting atelier combines decades of experience with meticulous craftsmanship — refining each stone in proportion, polish and effect.

Gemstone Cutting

Coloured gemstones demand a different kind of precision.
Each material follows its own structure, hardness and response to the wheel — requiring an experienced hand and a calm understanding of the stone.
In our workshop, we shape every gemstone in measured steps, refining its character without overpowering its natural identity.

Casting Process

Gold is more than a material — it carries history and responsibility.
We develop our own alloys: made from recycled gold and sourced with care — for distinctive colours, stability and lasting wear.
Our casting process follows a controlled sequence, refined over years and consistent in every detail.
What takes shape here is meant to endure. For generations.

Goldsmithing

In our goldsmiths’ atelier, precision meets experience.
With modern tools such as lasers and CAD milling, we shape elements that follow clear principles of form and function. At the same time, we preserve techniques such as chiselling and modelling — knowledge refined over generations.
This is how pieces are created that are more than precisely made:
They carry a clear signature. And the experience of those who craft them.

Gemstone Setting

The moment a gemstone is set demands absolute calm, experience — and precision down to the smallest fraction.
Stone and setting must align in perfect balance: angle, depth and the fine tension that holds without pressure.

The work is meticulous, but never mechanical.
A stone must sit with certainty — secure, even, and allowed to unfold its character.

polish

The final step of refinement:
a controlled, quiet process that shapes the surface — clear, balanced and true to the piece.
