At Oberbilker Allee 33 in Düsseldorf-Friedrichstadt, the shop and workshop of related by objects sit side by side. Since 2020, a team of designers, goldsmiths, and a silversmith has designed and made jewellery here in its own manufactory, from the first sketch through the prototype to the finished piece. If you are looking for a jewellery workshop in Düsseldorf for rings, necklaces or custom wedding rings, you will find collections and one-off commissions under one roof. Put simply, related by objects brings design and the goldsmith’s craft together in jewellery that evolves over the years rather than being replaced every season.
The founders met while studying design at the Hochschule Düsseldorf. They founded the label in January 2020, each with additional training in goldsmithing or silversmithing. Today, Eva Hanak, Mia Maichen and Lena Meyer run the manufactory together. In 2022, they presented new collections and opened the shop with regular opening hours because direct contact with customers matters to them, especially for personal pieces like wedding and engagement rings. They aim to make high-quality jewellery by hand, with a feel for contemporary shapes yet independent of short-lived trends.
In the shop and online, you will find rings, necklaces, pendants, earrings, and bracelets, including textile and chain bracelets. The collections aren’t made for a particular season; they’re developed and continued over a longer period. Well-known pieces include the lunar ring and the vibe bracelet, and many pieces can be personalised, for example with initials from the tag it! collection. Custom work makes up a large part of what the team does: they create engagement, wedding, eternity, and partner rings after a no-obligation consultation, where you can try on samples and compare designs. Pieces are made from old gold and old silver, and all cast pieces are made from 100 percent recycled silver. The team recycles production offcuts in the workshop and even develops dedicated products for small leftovers. The in-house collections use only reused diamonds. The team uses lab-grown diamonds from a manufacturer in Essen only at a customer’s explicit request. Prices range from 49 to 389 euros depending on the piece.
Looking for a goldsmith workshop in Düsseldorf for wedding rings, or want to turn inherited jewellery into something new? Then it is worth visiting Oberbilker Allee, around 18 minutes on foot from the main station. If you bring in your own jewellery, the studio can repair, rework, or redesign it. The team repairs all of its own pieces and also takes on jewellery by other makers. The studio can make ring sizes and chain lengths that are otherwise hard to find, and it uses a spot-welding machine to create welded chains built to last. In addition to regular opening hours, appointments are available, which is ideal for wedding ring consultations or redesigns. You can collect finished commissions in person or have them sent to you insured. You will find the current opening hours of related by objects on this page.
