Having studied at the Arts and Crafts College in Vienna, Josef set up his own studio in London and opened the OXO Tower showroom in 2008. Josef’s sculptural and geometric forms are predominately made in sterling silver with 24 carat gold overlay, fused together by using traditional techniques.

The abstract texture that results reveals the intense colour of the 24ct gold, while contrasting with the gentle and cool shimmer of the silver. Vibrant gemstones, carefully chosen for their unique quality and cut, form the central aspect of every piece. Each and every ring, pair of earrings or cufflinks is entirely handmade using time honoured goldsmith’s skills, resulting in minimalist, wearable jewels for both women and men.

 Vibrant bolder opals, aquamarines and transparent quartz with copper coloured, black or golden, needle formations are often at the centre of clean, well defined forms drawn from urban modern architecture and flowing organic shapes. Unusual root hematite and pyrite slate are new elements to the collection, all set in pure 24ct gold with accents of white or fancy coloured diamonds.

 Josef Koppmann’s jewellery is predominantly made from sterling silver overlaid with 24ct gold using traditional techniques and is handmade in his London showroom. Each piece is hand made with dedicated, caring craftsmanship creating an expression of unique style and personality for the brave and adventurous.
