Esther
Ackermann
This graduate in gemstone and jewellery
design from Idar-Oberstein has
been fascinated by working with the
wonders of nature from a young age.
She discovered a passion for gemstones
and their processing at her father’s
workshop. As a skilled goldsmith,
a harmonious interplay of stone
and metal is important to her. Both
components should blend together to
form an aesthetically appealing whole.
She skilfully reinterprets this repeatedly
through her works.

H & T
Carvings
This is all about real art – gemstone engraving. Few specialists today master
this challenging skill as well as Susanne Teiwes and Iris Hartenberger, whose
surname initials form the name of this company. Both have been masters of
gemstone processing since the mid-90s. After decades of creating pieces together,
they founded their own company in 2010: H & T Carvings. Their masterful
works quickly attracted attention in the industry. They develop individual
ideas and solutions with and for their customers, for example animal and
human portraits using every conceivable technique such as painted rock
crystal cabochons with Essex engraving, layer agate and half-relief Komesso
engraving. www.ht-carvings.de
