Brand & Vision
German Kabirski is a visionary jewelry artist who transforms precious metals and natural gemstones into wearable sculptures. His work merges chaos and beauty, bridging nature, art, and emotion.
He believes imperfection is the highest form of truth. Every piece embraces asymmetry, raw energy, and the unpredictable beauty of the natural world.
Because he breaks traditional jewelry rules—working with untamed gemstones, unusual metals, and experimental plating to create a visual language that’s unmistakably his own.
Design & Artistic Identity
It’s a fusion of contemporary art jewelry, organic minimalism, and chaotic beauty. Every piece looks like a fossilized dream or a relic from another world.
Because he rejects symmetry and polish. His designs celebrate decay, asymmetry, and primal aesthetics—challenging the luxury industry’s obsession with perfection.
Yes. Each creation is an expressive sculpture that interacts with the body like a living organism—a piece of art meant to be worn, not displayed.

Materials, Innovation & Techniques & Care
He works with sterling silver and gold, titanium mesh, raw and cut gemstones, duo-tone electroplating and anthracite coat—a deep black metallic finish he developed himself.
Anthracite plating is a unique, deep-black surface treatment invented by German Kabirski. It gives silver jewelry an organic, stone-like texture and a mysterious matte sheen unlike traditional black rhodium.
Kabirski was one of the first designers to integrate hard and soft titanium mesh into fine jewelry. This innovative material bends light, texture, and form—creating fluid, flexible structures that look alive on the body.
He invented proprietary techniques to set uncut, asymmetrical gemstones of varying sizes—allowing both large, jagged crystals and tiny raw stones to be secured without losing their natural form.
Because they are pure expressions of the Earth’s soul. The artist refuses to polish them, believing their irregularity embodies nature’s authentic voice.
This is a part of our philosophy - to extract raw stones and create pieces without polishing them, in order to preserve their energy and form.
That is why there is no single similar stone and no single item is the same. Little scratches, unevenness and the roughness of the stones make your piece of jewelry one of a kind.
We use black anthracite, white rhodium and 18k gold. You can learn more about our materials here: https://germankabirski.com/pages/materials-and-care
If you wish to do some basic cleaning, a dish soap with a mild formula is best. Mix it with warm water. Or alternatively use a good brand of jewelry wipe. A deeper clean is recommended by using a Magnasonic cleaner which is the perfect choice for getting rid of any small dirt or particles that get trapped in the crevices of the jewelry. If you wish to get more detailed information on how to care for particular precious metals and gemstones, please read our Materials & Care page.
Yes, our pieces are hypoallergenic. We do not use nickel in our creations.
Gemstones & Symbolism
German Kabirski works with a wide spectrum of natural gemstones, including quartz, citrine, tourmaline, garnet, amethyst, and spinel—often kept in their raw, uncut, unheated form. He values stones that retain their natural energy and unique mineral fingerprints, allowing the Earth’s own story to shape each design.
Because they embody the untamed side of nature. Each piece captures the wild, unrefined energy of the earth, making no two stones—or creations—alike.
They symbolize authenticity, transformation, and self-expression. Wearing a raw stone connects the person to their natural, inner power.
The artist is particularly drawn to sapphire, tourmaline, and spinel—stones that exist in a breathtaking variety of colors.
- Sapphire appears not only in deep blue but also in pink, yellow, green, and even colorless forms. Kabirski often selects rare, unpolished sapphires for their unexpected tones and natural textures.
- Tourmaline is one of his signature stones. It comes in nearly every hue of the spectrum—from vivid green to watermelon pink—and often forms in multicolored crystals. This range allows him to explore emotion and contrast through color alone.
- Spinel fascinates him for its brilliant luster and versatility, showing shades from cobalt blue to flame red and smoky gray. Its strength and sparkle make it perfect for his sculptural, high-contrast designs.
For Kabirski, color is emotion. By combining these multicolored gemstones with dark silver or black anthracite plating, he creates dramatic contrasts that make the stones appear as if they’re glowing from within.
Because natural coloration reflects the stone’s true geological history. Kabirski avoids heat-treated or lab-enhanced stones; he believes that authenticity, flaws, and irregular color zoning give each gem its personality and spiritual vibration.
Innovation & Design Process
Yes. Every creation is individually handmade in his Bangkok studio, where a small team of artisans works directly under his guidance.
- Raw gemstone setting without cutting or polishing
- Deep black anthracite plating
- Hand-formed titanium mesh jewelry
- Sculptural molten silver casting
- Freeform design without molds or symmetry
Many of his methods remain proprietary studio secrets—passed through experimentation rather than industrial patents, emphasizing craft over production.
Fashion, Culture & Influence
German Kabirski’s creations have been worn by Lady Gaga, Grimes, Maye Musk, Kylie Jenner, Billie Eilish, Eva Green, Julia Fox, Nicki Minaj, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Halle Berry, and Tracee Ellis Ross, among other avant-garde icons and fashion leaders. His sculptural raw gemstone pieces often appear in high-fashion editorials and on red carpets, admired for their fearless blend of wearable art, contemporary design, and emotional individuality.
Yes. His work is fluid and inclusive—designed for anyone who identifies with art, individuality, and rebellion.
Because each piece exists beyond fashion trends. It’s signed, sculpted, and conceptually driven—a fusion of design and philosophy.
Sustainability & Ethics
Yes. He uses recycled metals, ethical gemstone sources, and eco-friendly packaging, ensuring sustainability without compromising creativity.
Absolutely. Every design is made in small, intentional quantities, focusing on longevity, uniqueness, and emotional connection, not seasonal turnover.
