Inspired by the textures and rhythms of the natural world, Wolfgang Vaatz creates one-of-a-kind jewelry that blends fine craftsmanship with artistic expression. Working primarily in sterling silver with gold accents, Vaatz handcrafts each piece using techniques like chasing, repoussé, and texturing to evoke landscapes, tree lines, and the passage of light across the horizon. His jewelry is both sculptural and wearable—perfect for collectors who appreciate the harmony between nature and design. Each piece is a quiet statement, made with intention and timeless elegance.

Carved and engraved birch design in argentium silver, oxidized and partially re-polished with 22-23.5K placer gold from California fused. This pendant hangs from an oxidized sterling silver chain.

Chain Length: 16.5" - 20" adjustable

Wolfgang Vaatz

Wolfgang's career as an artist started in 1986. Throughout his exploration of different media over the years; starting with painting, followed by sculpting, finally designing and fabricating jewelry, and most recently adventuring with enamel; the expression of his art remains the same - translating his experiences of natural landscapes. Through his artworks, he shares his profound connection with nature as well as encourages the viewer/wearer to feel and connect to their own valuable memories and experiences with nature.
