Testimonials

Working with Laila Niklaus, Writer and instructional designer Budapest

  • I had the privilege of working with Alexandra von W to transform a meaningful piece of jewellery from my past. She crafted two beautiful gold earrings and a stunning amulet from my alliance ring.

  • Though my ex-husband and I remain friends, I felt it was time to reimagine this ring—a symbol that accompanied me through both love and loss—into something that resonates with the person I am today.

  • Alexandra is more than just a jeweller; she’s an empathetic, insightful alchemist who has a true gift for helping others reclaim and reinvent their treasured pieces. This journey of transformation has been unique and deeply personal, and I’m incredibly grateful to have had her by my side.

  • The starburst amulet she created for me is something I will cherish forever. It serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of women—our ability to overcome obstacles and create new worlds from the ashes.

  • I highly recommend Alexandra and her exceptional artistry.

    Thank you, Alexandra, for this unforgettable experience.

These molten gold sleeper hoops with diamond briolettes caught my eye as soon as I saw them at Alexandra's display during ArtWeeks; I had been searching for earrings that would be comfortable to wear everyday and these were perfect. The texture of the gold provides that bit of extra interest to go with the sparkle of the diamond. They fit beautifully with my other ear piercings. I would highly recommend Alexandra's jewellery and I look forward to being the proud owner of more in the future.

I absolutely love my gold rings with salt and pepper diamonds. They fit perfectly and really complement my wedding band, which is exactly what I wanted. Alex helped me choose the right gold band to match and incorporated my ideas into her design, which have resulted in such stunning rings. I’m thrilled with the result. I thoroughly recommend VON W JEWELLERY if you want something bespoke and beautifully handcrafted.

The ring looks fabulous.

You are truly talented to have got to such a place from a chat and a few photos! Not a dry eye in the house! A present charged with so much emotion.

I’m thinking about my next commission.

Life's transitions are marked by jewelry; to mark a new beginning, preserve the old but accept the transformation. I asked Alex to transform my former wedding band into a new piece of everyday jewelry and she understood what I meant immediately – much better than I did. She had the courage and wisdom to allow the material to speak for itself and follow the process it suggested to her. And she finished the piece by including two mini diamonds reflecting the two (grown up) jewels that came from that bond.

I bought an ametrine ring because I loved the stone but didn't like the setting, so never wore it. Having it reset by Alex as a single drop earring really transformed it. She made sure that I was happy throughout the design process and had lots of creative suggestions. I get compliments on it all the time.

I also love my molten gold vermeil huggies. They're my go-to for a classic look but with extra style. They're solid, too!

I had been looking for dainty creoles for ages but could not find any. When I asked Alexandra, she sent me some thoughts straight away and then incorporated my personal ideas when creating them. I later added a little stud which perfectly matches the hoops. I absolutely love Alexandra's jewellery and am looking forward to discovering more of her pieces in future.

Meinen Cuff trage ich meistens mit zusammengebundenen Haaren.
Man sieht ihn dadurch besser und erkennt die Korrespondenz zu meinem VON W JEWELLERY Ring.
Das war auch die Anforderung im Design-Prozess, mein Wunsch war ein passender Cuff zum Ring.
Das nächste Projekt war dann der komplementierende Kettenanhänger.
Ich finde den Schmuck zeitlos und schlicht schön, ein toller Stil, den ich gerne mein eigen nenne.

My daughter surprised me with a stunning handmade silver earring featuring a large Lapis Lazuli stone. It’s a truly unique piece, and I absolutely love wearing it. Every time I do, it connects me to my daughter in a special way, and knowing that it’s one of a kind brings me so much joy.

I am deeply impressed by Alexandra Von Widdern’s approach to jewellery-making. Her ability to take existing pieces and transform them into something entirely new is both innovative and meaningful. It’s a modern approach that speaks to the importance of reusing and recycling our cherished items. I sincerely hope that more people will embrace this idea, creating new treasures full of personal significance for their loved ones and themselves.

Thank you, Alexandra, for crafting such a beautiful piece that I will treasure always.

I am by now the lucky owner of 3 rings from VON W JEWELLERY and I love each of them equally. They are beautiful, unique and so comfortable to wear. I love the look of the textured silver, the originality of the granulation and above all, knowing that these have been crafted so professionally. I was so excited to be part of the design and to follow the evolution until completion. Choosing the stones and seeing them transformed
into a piece that is truly me and reminds me of a loved one is a precious gift. I am grateful to Alexandra for making it happen and for her advice and time. I
wear them every day and I would recommend VON W unreservedly if you are thinking about having a truly special piece made for yourself or a loved one.
