Ever since i began my journey of becoming a goldsmith, i love the combination of wood and precious metal. After working as a goldsmith for a couple of years, i decided to learn more about working with wood and started my own business:
Silva Aurea (latin: “golden forest”)
Silva Aurea stands for exclusive hand-made jewelry, great attention to detail and the seamless combination of precious metal with wood. I hand craft everything from scratch in my own little workshop without the use of cast parts or CNC machining. This enables me to take commissions and create truly custom work rather than mass producing.

SILVA FLUCTUS
Definitely my most ambitious piece yet!
It includes 200 seperate pieces of stabilized, spalted beech wood that are joined not only with adhesive but also mechanically through hidden grooves in the wood, joined by silver square wire. The rhodium plated frame has four tiny silver screws that hold the wood in place.
SILVA SIMILE
This minimalistic design makes for an affordable yet elegant Pendant. Each metal-wood connection is invisibly reinforced by thick metal pins going through the wood.
SILVA FENESTRA
As opposed to other popular metal-wood ring designs, the wood does not go all the way around but is divided into 3 parts. This prevents the wood from breaking due to tension.
SILVA ACERVI
SILVA FENESTRA
This Pendant freely rotates while being worn.
