Setting time aside for creativity

  • • Elisabeth has an eclectic design process
  • • Experimenting fuels her creativity
  • • She believes tradition and innovation belong together

Elisabeth Habig studied millinery because she has always liked to work with her hands. But the experience of soldering a piece of wire into a ring made her change her path. "Creating the ring without seeing its beginning and end afterwards was a magical experience," she says. A passionate collector of structures, Elisabeth loves casting techniques in all their variations, including sand and cuttlefish bone casting. She experiments a lot with organic materials to develop her unique design language. Her Globetrotter collection became a trademark: the series, consisting of bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings, is inspired by the ancient Etruscan granulation technique, in which tiny metal beads create a relief reminiscent of geographical maps.

Vanadinite

The shape of this wide bangle was created from an imprint of the minerals vanadinite and shows the natural geometry of this material. Stringing together a wax impression creates something completely new. The piece is then cast in silver. The surface is matte and only when worn do the edges polish up.

Mondlicht

Two oval Osmena pearls characterise these large, asymmetrical statement earrings. The pearls' bluish-grey shimmer is a reminder of the moon. Diamonds are arranged on silver bars to the side like constellations. The earrings are a single piece.

Sfera dell´universo

A 12.6 carat raw diamond is this ring's centrepiece. The shape makes this single piece unique. It is only held under tension and compression by two rings set with brilliants, a reference to the formation of diamonds. The simple design shows the gem from all its facets, both rough and polished.

Ring Stack

This ring stack comprises three individual rings. Two come from the artisan’s Mineral collection, one in 14 carat yellow gold and the other in 14 carat red gold. A classic red gold eternity ring with white Top Wesselton diamonds sits between these two bands.

Earrings from the Globetrotter collection

These earrings each consist of two slightly curved circles featuring a surface structure derived from an ancient granulation technique. The upper circle is smaller, and both are held together with a silver wire.
