My website name – pam-palma – tells a lot about me: my name is Pamela Harig and I found my first atelier/shop in Palma de Mallorca. Actually, I am German, originally from the Eifel region, and I passed my childhood living in close contact to the nature that would stimulate my creativity and my manual skills.
The game between inspiration, design and artistic flow has fascinated me ever since and to this day. So I discovered my passion for the craft, creating something with my own hands and since then it has become a crucial aspect of my life.
During my apprenticeship I discovered that craftsmanship and sensitivity for details go hand in hand in goldsmithing and that these artistic works are part of my personality and fit into my professional future.
Education
The goldsmith’s trade combines manual work with creative aspects and so the stepstone was laid for my career from apprentice to master goldsmith with my own studio in Palma.I started to work in a goldsmith with a gemstone trade in Aachen, where I also discovered my passion to create my own jewelry from scratch. I started there as an apprentice and over the years I have become head of the workshop.
Seven years later, I had enough experience to take the next steps. So it was time to go back to school and I finally got my master’s degree in gold and silversmithing.The ten years that I spent in Aachen were a perfect basis and very fructous, as I was able to develop my skills as a goldsmith and jewelry designer, specialize in stones and be a teacher for new apprentices.
Mallorca
After two years of orientation as an emigrant on Mallorca, I dared to open my own workshop with a studio in Palma. I opened the doors of my first workshop in La Lonja in the historic center of the city: after weeks of dust and construction, I had my workshop, my own room.
For 17 years now, I have been able to develop my passion for the art of goldsmithing in the busy streets of Palma de Mallorca. Through my experience, craftsmanship and the acquisition of the title of master goldsmith, I have not only refined the art of goldsmithing, but also found a permanent place in the hearts of my valued customers.
It is with a sense of gratitude and excitement that now in 2024 I am opening my goldsmith’s studio in Santanyí, where I have passionately created a new, again very personal space in my style. This idyllic community offers not only an inspiring backdrop, but also the opportunity to focus on the essentials: creating timeless masterpieces. The move means not only a change of location, but also a new creative beginning, characterized by the natural beauty, the beautiful landscape, whether sea or mountains and the tranquility of the place.
My goldsmith studio in Santanyí is more than just a new location – it is a symbol of the continuity of my passion and commitment to excellence in craftsmanship. With a wealth of experience, the title of master craftsman and a new, inspiring environment, I look forward to continuing to delight my customers with unique pieces of jewelry. In Santanyí, the tradition of goldsmithing continues and a new era is ushered in at the same time.
Handmade
