Allgemeine Informationen

The design and manufacture of Hellmuth fine jewelry is a perfect blend of art and science evoking raw sensuality. With a well-deserved reputation for German precision and innovative craftsmanship, the company is best known for its “Croco” jewelry. Inspired by nature, Hellmuth’s exquisite “Croco” jewelry features an elegant pattern of crocodile skin interpreted in 18K gold, often juxtaposed with fancy diamonds and colored stones.

Hellmuth was founded in 1983 by Gert Hellmuth and is based in Pforzheim, Germany. Gert was inspired by his great-grandfather, Karl Friedrich Hellmuth, who produced croco handbags and accessories as early as 1870, and his father, who continued the tradition with croco watch straps. The company makes a wide variety of designs including large statement pieces—many of which incorporate crocodile patterns in an abstract way that the gives the jewelry a luxe feel. For more than 25 years, Hellmuth has focused on craftsmanship and attention to detail as would be expected from one of Germany’s premiere jewelry design and manufacturing companies.
