GERMAN KABIRSKI
The brand was founded in 2000 by a contemporary jewelry designer German Kabirski. It quickly attracted attention, mainly from people who don't like traditional jewelry and art critics. From the beginning, German Kabirski was all about being different. Our designer experimented with unconventional materials, invented new jewelry techniques, and ignored the thousands-year jewelry tradition to create his own authentic style. He combined diamonds with pebbles, precious metals with fur and feathers, and set stones in a way nobody thought possible.
German Kabirski Inc. is a member of the leading US jewelry association, Jewelers of America.
JUST DIFFERENT
Real artists shouldn't repeat - nor others, neither themselves - says German Kabirski. His work is a constant search for something new - new textures, new materials, and new ways to design. He keeps experimenting and inventing every day, and the joy of the process seems to keep him going.
THEY LIVE
Full disclosure: actually, some of our pieces are not jewelry. They are living creatures belonging to a scarce extraterrestrial family. They originated at the center of the Earth, where gemstones and metals melt together to form these odd little species we find so fascinating. Spat out on the planet's surface through volcanoes and earthquakes, they longed for high temperatures and intensity of the underworld until they encountered it all in a simple human touch. Since then, they have disguised themselves as designer accessories to befriend people and to become their companions, therapist, and alter egos.
Why do you work so much with raw stones?How do you work?How would you define your style?Why is a cockroach your brand symbol?
Polished stones have no energy. Such stones go through a lot of artificial enrichment processes – heating, chemical processing, irradiation, etc. All of it is done to create shiny commercial product. In my opinion, it’s absolute stupidity, which kills the most precious aspect of the stone – it’s soul. I work with wild, virgin stones because I love their energy and the uniqueness in each piece. Their shapes were formed in the earth over millions of years. They are deeply rich and alive to me. I feel that their individuality, their flaws and textures are much more adorable than glamorous look of polished stones. I also prefer such women-accepting and emphasizing their natural beauty, instead of trying to be alike and the same, such as following cultural beauty and fashion standards.
