Behind the large shop window at Hoffeldstraße 46, Tabea Kamper sits at her workbench, sawing, filing, and polishing, and anyone walking past can watch her work. Since 2024, the goldsmith has run Atelier Goldfisch here in Düsseldorf-Flingern, a shop and workshop in one. If you are looking for a goldsmith in Düsseldorf for handmade jewellery, redesigns or custom rings, this is the place. Put simply, Atelier Goldfisch is a goldsmith’s workshop where new jewellery often grows from old pieces.
Tabea Kamper is a trained goldsmith who has worked at the bench since age 16. She focuses on individual commissions, translating each client’s wishes into a personal piece of jewellery, from the first sketch to the finished setting. She works alongside Fabian, who specialises in gemstones and develops his own designs using new materials and techniques. Shop and workshop are deliberately combined in one space: consultation, design and production all take place in the same room, and the shop window makes the goldsmith’s craft visible to everyone. In terms of design, the studio favours flowing, organic shapes that recall structures found in nature.
In the shop and online, you will find rings, necklaces, pendants, and earrings in gold and silver. Commissions make up a large part of the work: engagement and wedding rings made to your wishes and, above all, the redesign of heirloom pieces. Many customers bring old rings, chains, or even watches that nobody wears anymore. We melt the metal down, re-alloy it, and make a new piece, and we can reset old diamonds and gemstones in the process. Repairs and adjustments are part of the everyday work, and if you want to sell old gold, the studio can test the alloy right there. New gold comes from a German refinery that recycles around 95 % of its gold. Gemstones mostly come from vintage stock or from sources in Düsseldorf. For pickling the metal, the workshop uses citric acid instead of harsher acids. Prices range from just over 100 euros for a silver ring to several thousand euros for elaborate gold work.
Looking for a goldsmith in Düsseldorf to make a ring to measure or turn inherited jewellery into something new? Then head to Flingern, where the studio sits right in the middle of the neighbourhood. Just bring your old pieces, and at the counter Tabea will talk through what they could become and which material suits them. If you cannot drop by, selected pieces are available in the online shop and are shipped directly from the Düsseldorf studio. You can find Atelier Goldfisch’s current opening hours on this page.
