About 2819

Philosophy

“I’ve always been drawn to objects that carry a certain presence — something increasingly rare in manufactured goods today. I think of this quality as soul.

You recognize it instantly when you encounter it. An object with soul feels almost magnetic, as if it holds a life of its own. It invites attention. It asks to be touched, examined, remembered.

This philosophy is at the core of everything I create.

Jewelry that feels alive.
Jewelry that shouts.
Jewelry that becomes part of the person who wears it.” 

Tim Esser

Love for craftmanship

All 2819 pieces are designed and handcrafted by Tim Esser in his Studio in Leipzig, Germany.

Each piece is carefully created from precious metals, to ensure the highest level of quality, that you can see and feel.

By sticking to old and proven crafting techniques, like forging and casting, the jewelry is meant to become a precious and meaningful artifact that will accompany its wearer over a  lifetime.

For many pieces an ancient technique is used, known as sand-casting. 

This method has been used for thousands of years to create jewelry.

 

A model is pressed into dense, oily sand, where it creates a mold.

Hot, liquid silver is then being poured into the sand mold where it hardens instantly.

The raw, unfinished product is then being shaped, filed, sanded, brushed and polished until a refined piece of jewelry is created, that is ready to find its owner.

Material

 

All pieces are made from solid 925 Sterling Silver, wich is a silver alloy that contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper.

By that, all pieces are hypo-allergenic, nickel-free, and will not wear off over time like it is the case with silver-platet jewelry.
