Schreiner Fine Jewellery helps put the country’s fine jewellery industry on the world map
Germany’s big Cs — cars, carnivals, and castles — merely scratch the surface of what makes this Western European country an appealing travel destination. Misty forests, romantic river valleys, and stretches of lush vineyards are a feast for the eyes.
But while its varied landscape is a proven drawcard for tourists, the mere mention of Germany merits a discussion about engineering excellence. German cars have become a national pride, sought-after the world over for their luxury, comfort, and performance. The country’s engineering prowess also extends to camera and optics production. And some of the best watches are proudly made in Germany.
There is no shortcut in producing jewellery of exceptional quality. It is important to find the best among the best materials and have a great team”
– Gerhard Schreiner, founder and CEO of Schreiner Fine Jewellery
Germans surely have a knack for working with metals — something that is also evident in its jewellery production. Unlike other countries, the bigger cities in Germany are overshadowed by their lesser-known counterparts.
The country’s most significant jewellery production region is Pforzheim, which is rightfully nicknamed ‘City of Gold’. Here, artisans give gold many creative renditions, and any jewellery aficionado is sure to snatch up one-of-a-kind pieces that echo German jewellery-making at their finest. Another fascinating location for jewellery lovers is Idar-Oberstein, once famous for its agate and jasper deposits as well as the lapidary arts. This seemingly quiet town in the Rhineland-Palatinate region has over 500 years of history in gemstone manufacturing.

Gerhard’s fascination with precious stones and jewellery design began at a young age, which led him to Colombia in 1988, where he started to produce his special pieces using emeralds. Tirelessly creating beautiful fine jewellery to this day, Gerhard’s inspirations come from various things — from nature to arts and culture, to his and his wife’s birth signs, Leo and Scorpio, respectively. “I am always inspired by nature, particularly the four seasons,” he shares.

There’ s nothing simple about Gerhard’ s high jewellery pieces — from the materials used to the design and craftsmanship, everything is meticulously sourced, elaborately conceptualised, and painstakingly realised under his personal supervision from start to finish.

The brand’s biggest collection to date includes a high jewellery suite, featuring 350ct no heat Burmese rubies and 150ct diamonds.
