The historic paper mill dating back to 1852 in the Angertal valley in Ratingen is the place where SCHMUCKWERK turns emotions into jewellery. Since 1994 it has been home to the 500-square-metre manufactory where Heike and Markus Schmidt and their team work.
This breathtaking industrial monument is located just 15 minutes away from Düsseldorf at the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia. Red brick meets high-carat gold and platinum and sparkling diamonds.
This striking contrast never fails to inspire. As does every piece of jewellery from SCHMUCKWERK, this place tells a touching story.
JEWELLERY THAT TOUCHES YOUR HEART
We design jewellery for you that can do more than just look beautiful. Our jewellery touches your senses, tells stories and allows you to enjoy new sensations such as sound, movement and play.
We only design and create jewellery that we like ourselves and we are looking for people who feel the same way about jewellery as we do.
We want to fascinate, enchant and delight you with our jewellery. We value the special moments we share with you. We look forward to meeting you at our events and enthralling you with our jewellery designs. Be inspired!

SCHMUCKWERK stands for SCHMUCKstück (piece of jewellery) and KunstWERK (work of art). However, WERK (site) also stands for a magical place – the manufactory in a historic paper mill in the beautiful Angertal valley in Ratingen.
