Taking commissions
What's been made at the Pod Kesnerkou workshop
Moldavite, one of a kind
Raw moldavite from Bohemia, set in hand-forged silver. Modelled in wax: a signature piece, the only one of its kind.
White gold wedding bands
A pair of wedding bands in white gold, matte satin finish, three small diamonds. From sketch and silver sample to the finished pair in two weeks.
Pink sapphire in a halo setting
A pink sapphire surrounded by twenty brilliants in a classic halo setting. Tradition in a modern hand: a classic choice for an engagement, or for yourself.
Workshop philosophy
Workshop philosophyApproaching a piece of jewellery like architecture in miniature. Less is always more.
I believe in pieces that breathe, a craft that strips away what's unnecessary and reveals the beauty of the material.
I've been working with gold and silver for more than twenty years. Every piece I make by hand, from the first sketch to the final polish. It isn't only a craft, it's the way I see the world.
Every piece that leaves the workshop carries a bit of my story, and a lot of yours. That's why I don't rush and I don't compromise.
Handmade, no compromise
I know where every stone comes from
Fewer details, more material
From idea to finished piece in three steps.
Consultation
We meet at the workshop or over the phone. We discuss your idea, materials, and budget. No obligation.
Made by hand
I make every piece by hand, from the first sketch to the final polish. I photograph the process so you can see how it comes together.
Handover
I hand the piece over in person at the workshop or send it as an insured parcel. Always with a lifetime guarantee on the workmanship.
What people say about my work
4.9 out of 5 from 27 ratings on Google · August 2026
“We had our wedding rings and signet rings made here to order, with our own family crest, and we could not be happier with the result. From the first contact through the designs and consultations to the making itself, everything was completely professional. We appreciate the willingness, the precise attention to detail and the individual approach throughout.”
“I can only warmly recommend him. I am completely satisfied and convinced you will not easily find a better goldsmith in Prague. Above all I value the precise workmanship, the speed, the excellent communication and very fair prices. He can also take your old gold and turn it into an entirely new, beautiful piece exactly as you imagine it.”
“I needed a piece made at very short notice and Martin handled it superbly — from the first sketch to handing over the finished piece, everything went smoothly. When I need another, I know where to go.”
