Behind the bench
About Me
I'm Ilona Stichling, a jewellery artist with extensive experience in creating bespoke, handcrafted pieces that hold personal meaning and lasting value.
I work primarily in precious metals like sterling silver, gold, and platinum, combining traditional techniques — such as gemstone setting and hand-engraving — with a love for thoughtful, one-of-a-kind design.
Every piece is made by hand in my home studio, where I also enjoy exploring alternative materials and textures to bring each client's vision to life. Whether it's custom commission or limited-edition design, my focus is always on quality, intention and individuality.

Your story, my craft.
Every piece of jewellery has a story—whether it’s a fresh spark of inspiration, a bold investment, or an heirloom passed down through generations. I don’t just make jewellery; I make moments tangible. From the first strike of the hammer to the final polish, each step is guided by your vision and my craft. Engraving gives your piece a voice, metalwork gives it form, and stone setting gives it brilliance. Together, they turn raw materials into something you can wear, love, and one day pass on. For me, it’s not just about making jewellery—it’s about creating something that feels like you.
Metalsmith
Where it all begins: fire meets metal. Whether shaping silver into a sleek band, working with gold for timeless treasures, or melting and drawing metal into new forms, this is the backbone of every Fiero piece. Think sparks, sweat, and a whole lot of skill.
Engraving
The finishing touch that makes a piece truly yours. Initials, dates, symbols—engraving adds meaning you can see and feel. Done with precision and patience, it’s a craft that turns jewellery into heirlooms.
Gem setting
From diamonds that demand attention to gemstones with subtle charm, we set each stone by hand. Secure, stylish, and always with an eye for detail. Because your stones deserve more than just a seat—they deserve a spotlight.
