RAV-VÆRKSTEDET

AMBER
is our passion

Such as every single piece of amber is unique also our works are all unique.

It’s always very fascinating what a piece of amber is going to be to, because also the piece itself determines what it will be.


“Old craftwork” transformed into modern design.

ABOUT US

Beate & Andreas


In 2009 started our history and journey as amber cutter and jewelry designer.

We, Beate and Andreas moved from Germany to Denmark into the wonderful Vendsyssel (Northern Jutland).

Many years before we spent our summer holidays as tourists and fell in love with the country, the people and the Danish lifestyle.

We took over the workshop from our Danish friends who had worked with amber from 1978 until 2009.

Both of us are educated in the jewelry- and watch industry in Pforzheim/Germany and have been working there for many years.

We learned amber cutting from the former owner and this became our passion very quickly.

Inspiration and the materials for our jewelry, arts and crafts we find in the fantastic nature her in Northern Jutland.

Our inspiration

Our inspiration we find in the nature around us here in Jutland.

During our long walks along the seaside with blue skies or also sometimes with stormy weather we find many things which give us ideas and inspiration.


Our materials


Driftwood, seashells, wood and stones and of course amber we find on the beaches in Northern Jutland and these materials give us ideas and the possibility to make our unique pieces of jewelry.  The nature is amazingly creative and we try to transfer this into our pieces of jewelry. In addition to this we buy amber from the local fishermen and local people who collect amber on the beaches.


Your own personal design


You are welcome to come with your own idea and we try to help you to let get your dream of your own jewelry become real.

Have you been lucky and found your own piece of amber?

Just come around. We will transfer it into your own unique piece of amber or a sculpture.
