When geeks fall in love
Dedicating yourself to another person is a big deal – for everyone. For Sarah and Michael, two geeky and free souls, it wasn’t a given. And then again… they WERE a perfect match, and when Sarah realized, that she had found the perfect match in the nerdy film operator and master of role play, she asked me to create an engagement ring for him. Proposing is always neve wrecking and to do so as a woman to the man, many would consider especially unusual and brave. However, this is very much in keeping with the young artist’s personality. Because who…13. July 2018
Sing Blue Silver - a bespoke ring
It can be a bit challenging to understand what exactly it takes here in our workshop to create a piece of jewellery. It’s always interesting to get a look behind the scene and in this article you will get just that as I take you on the journey from sketch to finished custom made piece. A few years ago, this customer came to me with a request to have her old heirloom jewellery redesigned into a new ring, which fitted her taste and personal style.

Boho-wedding on a Greek Beach
Love crosses borders and conquers culture differences. This is the story of an international couple who got united on a beach in Greece with a custom made wedding set from Castens.

A new ring with old memories
Some years ago I created a ring for the Danish blogger, actor and It-girl Carla Michelsborg, also known as Carla Chloe. Carla is one of those scrumptious girls who always looks delicious and cheerful. The pouting duck faces are few and far between and she has no problems showing her silly, less photogenic sides – bless her. Carla as an elven princess, wearing the Le Fey tiara. She could probably play such a fairytale creature very well too... Like many others of my customers she came to me with an old ring which didn’t work for her, but which…9. May 2017
Heirloom redesign – celebration of mothers
Many of us feel deeply connected to the generations of our family which have gone before us. And therefore Mother’s Day is a wonderful time to commemorate and celebrate not only our own mother, but the mothers who came before her as well. This was the intent of my customer when she brought me 3 rings with diamonds: Her mothers wedding ring, her grandmothers wedding ring the ring her grandmother got, when she had given birth to her mother. All rings were in a rather bad state: They had never been built sturdy and the wear and tear of many…10. February 2017
