Die Goldschmiedin

Feuer frei. The metal on my coal is Gold. During the working process the color of this material is blackened and the finger of a Goldsmith are usually as dirty as from everyone else working in the metal industry 🌞 #metal #gold #goldsmith #craftmanship

GM from my workbench, 1000 to dos but the second coffee of the day comes first. #starwars #goldsmith #workbench

Sunday evening chaos. I will clean up later, I swear.

This Hammer is a special one. The German name is Ziselierhammer. In English it would be chasing hammer but that's not very specific and i'm very unsatisfied with this name because there are plenty of hammers which would be used as chasing hammer. It's like this tale from the Innuit which have 29 words for snow (not fact back checked) and there is a lack of names for my tools in the English language. Please proof me wrong would love to learn if there are other words than chasing. 😊 This kind of hammer is used for smithing patterns, ornamentals and other forms in metal. Zieselieren is a very old technique and not very common anymore.

Long time not seen. RL got me, had to travel had to work.

Work in progress. Lapislazuli and 18 kt Gold. I hope I get them ready before our camping trip to Austria 🏕️😍

Tourmaline! That's my favorite stone group. I could talk about them all day long. On the picture you see an Rubellite that's the rose/red variety of Tourmaline. Tourmaline exists in almost every color. From blue to green to yellow orange, red, violet, grey and black. The rarest Tourmalines are the swimmingpoolcolored Paraibas. #swimmingpool #diegoldschmiedin #tourmaline #bavaria #rare #kind
