The Hans D. Krieger company from Idar-Oberstein has earned an enviable international reputation for the finest diamond jewellery. The secret of the firm’s success lies in the fact that every step in the production process takes place under one roof. This makes the Hans D. Krieger company one of the few jewellery manufacturers in the world that completes every step in-house. Diamond and gemstone cutters work closely with goldsmiths, setters and jewellery designers here. “This enables us to keep the promise of quality implicit in the phrase ‘Made in Germany’,” says Andreas Krieger, who manages the company now in its fourth generation. The Krieger family can look back on almost 300 years of gemstone and jewellery history. Generation-spanning experience and the cultivation of the finest craftsmanship, coupled with state-of-the-art technology, form the basis for the manufactory’s noble and timeless masterpieces.

The family business devotes special attention to the finest gems, which are always at the centre of the jewellery’s design. “Each stone is one of a kind and recounts the unique story of its origin,” says Andreas Krieger. The whole team devotes great passion to these rarities in order to give them the appearance they deserve by devising the perfect cut and combining it with the finest gold or platinum and a classic design. Only as finished pieces of jewellery can the gems fully ignite their inherent beauty and fantastic fire. 

“Nature is the greatest artist. Nature’s beauty is inimitable and simply intoxicating,” says Andreas Krieger, who is always enthusiastic about one of the house’s specialties: naturally coloured diamonds, known as ‘fancy colour diamonds’. Whether bright yellow, delicate rosé or soft caramel, jewellery with coloured diamonds from Hans D. Krieger is unique, and the company is acknowledged as a leader in this genre.
