Co-Design Jewelry: A New Way to Create What’s Truly Yours

Modern approach to custom design —
co-create jewelry with German Kabirski using silver, platings, and all-natural gemstones

For years, you’ve loved German Kabirski’s work — natural gemstones set in silver and gold, pieces that carry his unmistakable artistic vision. But many of you asked for something more: “Can I personalize my jewelry? Can I choose gemstones? Can I make it reflect me?”

The answer, until now, was always no. German has famously resisted the idea of custom orders. His creative process has always been independent, instinctive, and uncompromising. Opening up his studio is something entirely new — an experiment in breaking boundaries.

For the first time ever, he’s opening his studio doors — and inviting you inside. Your individuality fuels the art. The outcome is unpredictable, personal, and alive in a way no ready-made piece could be.

Personalization vs. Co-Creation

Most people know personalized jewelry as adding initials, birthstones, or engraving a name. That’s meaningful — but it’s also limited.

Co-creation takes it further. With this new online creative space, you don’t just customize. You step inside the design process. Together with the designer, you decide on the base shape, select natural gemstones, and choose the finish — silver, gold, or dramatic platings like black rhodium or anthracite. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece that still carries the designer’s signature style but is undeniably yours.

Designing Jewelry Together: How It Works

It’s simple:

1. Choose the base design — start from one of German’s iconic prototypes.
2. Select gemstones and plating — natural gemstones, silver, or gold. Make it yours.
3. German crafts it in his studio — your vision translated through his hands.
4. Delivered in 8 weeks — a finished piece, truly yours.

Natural Gemstones Matter

At the heart of this collaboration are natural gemstones. Unlike lab-created stones, each natural gem carries a story that took millions of years to form. Inclusions, veins, fractures, and subtle color variations aren’t flaws — they’re fingerprints of the Earth, making every stone unrepeatable.

Mass-market jewelry often aims for uniformity: perfect cuts, identical colors, flawless clarity. But perfection can also feel sterile. In co-creation, those so-called imperfections are celebrated as signatures of individuality. A smoky quartz with a golden streak, a sapphire with unexpected flashes of green, or a raw amethyst with jagged edges — these details transform your piece into something no one else could own.

With co-creation, you can choose from an extraordinary range of gems, each with its own personality:

• Ruby — the stone of fire and passion, deep red and full of life.
• Sapphire — most known for its blue, but also appearing in yellow, teal, and grey, echoing sky and sea.
• Quartz — from smoky and mysterious to rose and clear, offering endless moods.
• Topaz — in sparkling white or serene blue, capturing clarity and calm.
• Garnet — not just red; it comes alive in purple, green, and even fiery orange.
• Peridot — bright, citrus-green, fresh like spring leaves.
• Chrome Diopside — a rare, intense green, almost glowing from within.
• And more… Each stone adds its own energy, making your jewelry unmistakably yours.

Choosing your gemstone isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about resonance. Some people connect with the calming depth of topaz, while others are drawn to the fiery life in garnet. In co-creation, this choice becomes an expression of who you are and what you value.

And because every stone is different, even if two people choose the same design, the outcome will never be identical. That is the beauty of working with raw, natural gemstones: your jewelry becomes a true one-of-a-kind reflection of you.

The Creative Process: Precious Metals

At the heart of this collaboration are natural gemstones. Each one is unique: inclusions, veins, and color variations that cannot be replicated. Where mass-market jewelry polishes away imperfections, co-creation celebrates them as part of the story.

The metal and finish you choose set the tone:

• Sterling Silver: Raw, edgy, and timeless — perfect if you like jewelry that feels grounded and organic.
• White or Black Rhodium: Rhodium plating elevates silver; white rhodium adds sleek sophistication, while black rhodium creates high contrast and drama.
• 18K Gold: Warm, rich, and classic. For those who want luxury with a personal imprint.
• Black Anthracite: Dark, futuristic, and unconventional — a finish that turns jewelry into a bold statement.

The same base design transforms completely depending on these choices. Imagine a chunky statement ring in silver with a raw citrine versus the same design in 18K gold with a sapphire — same skeleton, entirely different personalities.

The Emotional Side of Co-Creation

Co-design isn’t just about materials. It’s about what the process represents.

• You’re not just a buyer, you’re a co-artist. The piece carries your input.
• Surprise and pride. When people ask, “Where did you get this?” you’ll be able to say, “I designed it with the artist”
• Memory-making. Perfect for milestones: an engagement ring that you shaped together, a birthday gift that no one else in the world will have, or a self-celebration piece that embodies your individuality.

This is jewelry that doesn’t just mark a moment — it creates one.

Co-Design Your Accessories: What’s Next

This launch is just the beginning. We’re starting with a small set of base designs, but new models will be added over time. Each one offers a fresh chance to co-create, to make a piece that couldn’t exist without you.

So, stay tuned. Try it. See what happens when you design with the artist, not just buy from him.

Because jewelry should not just be worn — it should be truly yours.
