HISTORY AND PRESENT
HISTORY AND PRESENT
Established in 1979 by Klaus and Michael Stenzhorn, our company embarked on a journey that would redefine the standards of jewelry production. Initially, we focused on the wholesale aspect, supplying jewelers in Germany with merchandise crafted by local manufacturers in Bangkok. While successful in sales, our founders sought more consistent and higher-quality products.
In the mid-80s, the Stenzhorn brothers made a pivotal decision to commence their own production in Bangkok, driven by a vision to rival the excellence of top European factories. This pursuit demanded unwavering perseverance as they endeavored to elevate all aspects of production to meet their exacting standards.
At that time, the jewelry manufacturing landscape in Bangkok primarily catered to the lower end of the market. Undeterred, Klaus and Michael took bold steps to elevate their craftsmanship by inviting esteemed specialists from Europe to train their local staff. The introduction of microscopes for pave setting marked a significant milestone, not only in the setting section but also in quality control and across all goldsmith benches. Their determination knew no bounds.
With the successful achievement of European-level quality in Thailand, the brothers felt compelled to push the boundaries further. They pioneered the creation of intricately invisibly set pieces adorned with diamonds, setting new benchmarks in the industry. Additionally, K.S. Jewelry developed a unique technique for crafting flexible necklaces and bracelets, using coronets meticulously handmade from pulled wire.
The exceptional craftsmanship and unparalleled quality of our creations caught the attention of prominent brands, leading to fruitful business relationships. The pursuit of complete control over the production process even led to the acquisition of gold and diamond mines in Africa and, subsequently, a diamond-cutting facility in Santo Domingo, a testament to our commitment to excellence.
Today, K.S. Jewelry is celebrated within the jewelry industry for several unique techniques, each a result of our expert engineering, state-of-the-art technology, and the marriage of high-quality handwork. Our unwavering dedication to excellence continues to propel us forward as we embrace innovation and elevate the artistry of fine jewelry.
