About SABHA
How it all began…
My dream of freedom and exploring foreign cultures, high mountains and the most hidden places in the world was already great at a young age.
When I completed my goldsmith apprenticeship at the age of 20, nothing stood in my way. My journey began in Kathmandu. With a wide, open heart and not knowing what to expect, my 10-year adventure began here.
Bliss and a deep sense of connection kept me in Asia. In the here and now, I climbed the greatest mountains, traveled to the paradisiacal undiscovered islands, sought out the holiest places, and met magical personalities. Meditation and yoga became my companions and remain an integral part of my life to this day.
Goldsmithing accompanied me (like a silent thread) everywhere on this journey. The various techniques, styles, and gemstones that are always present in these countries fascinated and shaped me.
I first traveled to the pink city of Jaipur on the saddle of a motorcycle. Rajasthan is arguably one of the most fascinating countries in India. Handicrafts are evident at every corner. Outstanding decorations on buildings, furniture, clothing, and animals can be seen everywhere. This is probably why this city is known for producing the most magnificent jewelry in the world.
In Jaipur, I met master goldsmiths, gem cutters, and fantastic artisans who remain loyal friends and business partners to this day.
My sources of inspiration…
The harmonious relationship between the materials and their processing leaves a lasting, radiant mark on our world. My collections are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and the naturalness of the stones, which are selected from my trusted local dealers. It's not just the origin that matters here: It's particularly important to me to ensure decent working conditions and resource-saving, transparent processes in the production of my jewelry. This standard is constantly monitored, especially through my personal relationship with the production facilities in Jaipur.
The impressions of ancient cultures and the spirituality experienced in Asia left a deep and lasting fascination for me. I incorporate these groundbreaking experiences into jewelry that radiates this sphere on various levels.
My source of strength and inspiration, nature, is reflected in the "Flora and Fauna" collections. I want to convey a harmonious and radiant coexistence and a reminder that we are all connected, that we are one.
This is what my brand stands for…
SABHA, as I now call my brand, is derived from the Sanskrit word ABHA, which means light, radiance, and beauty. This refers to the inner glow of each individual personality. To emphasize precisely this individual radiance of its wearer, each "piece of jewelry" represents sensual attention to our radiant beauty—both internally and externally.
The oasis of my beautiful world
I invite you into the world of SABHA,
The "SchmuckStück by SABHA" store is located in Vienna's 7th district. Here, I want to tell you a story with each piece of jewelry.
Because everything works and nothing is accidental, there is a great sense of gratitude for all the encounters, inspirations, and impulses that make me who I am today. Namaste
