Tandl Jewellery
Our Story
Thomas and I met in Melbourne in March 2020 — just days before the world slowed down.
When the first lockdown began we found ourselves in a community in Melbourne, with people who soon became close friends. Among them were two travelling jewellery makers who showed us the basics of wire wrapping. Our first curiosity quickly became fascination.
The very next day we bought our first pliers. At first we stripped old electrical cables for copper wire to practice. Our early pieces were far from perfect — but we couldn't stop creating.
We sold our jewellery on streets and small markets across Australia. We fell in love with the country, the craft and each other. One after another we returned to Europe — the drive to keep crafting remained.
Step by step we stepped into goldsmithing: trial, error and a lot of patience. In 2023 we moved to Stuttgart; later Thomas went to Vienna for his master's.
In 2026 a new chapter began: we moved to Idar-Oberstein — Germany's gemstone city — where I study 'Jewellery & Gemstones' and we have our workshop. From here we take our jewels to markets across Europe.
What started as a spontaneous lockdown hobby has become our daily life. Sometimes the most unexpected moments forge the strongest stories.
