I am Benjamin Wester, also known as Surtur - the mind, body, and hands behind Surturs Schmiede.

Since 2014, I have been running my small business, Surturs Schmiede, specializing in medieval-style jewelry. My passion for the art of goldsmithing began as a self-taught artisan: Through experimenting with various techniques and materials, I have continuously developed my skills over the years.

With a strong presence on social media, I use platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok to showcase my craft and connect with a growing fanbase. Through regular posts and videos, I provide insights into the jewelry-making process and share my expertise on different goldsmithing techniques and creative design ideas.

I sell my unique creations through the online marketplace Etsy as well as through my own website, surtursschmiede.de. These platforms allow me to offer my handcrafted jewelry to a global audience.

Through my extensive experience, I keep the tradition of goldsmithing alive and create works that are individually tailored to my clients. My love for quality and authenticity, along with high aesthetic standards, defines each of my creations—after all, I aim to preserve and honor the history and craftsmanship of bygone eras through them.
