The husband and wife team of Christina Seefeldt and Thomas Fistler make Pratima Design a creative collaboration and shared life passion. Both German born and raised, the artists trained in the rigorous, diverse tradition of European goldsmithing, in which jewelry is fabricated from “scratch” (with sheet and wire) versus the freeform wax casting predominant in the United States today.

Today, Pratima Design jewelry fuses precious metals and gemstones, reflecting a classic, modernist style. Each piece is carefully handcrafted and incorporates advanced techniques such as CAD (computer-aided drawing), allowing clients to see virtual representations of a piece before it is made.

Christina and Thomas have called Maui home since 1997, where they work from their Upcountry studio along the slopes of Haleakala. Immersed in Hawai‘i’s natural environment, Pratima Design jewelry integrates the elements and rhythms of nature while remaining true to the artists’ reverence for detail, precision, and simplicity.
 

This extensive skill training combined with a background in classical music and guitar making results in a truly innovative design aesthetic. Inspired by the ornamentation on instruments, the artists’ first jewelry was, in fact, fashioned from exotic woods and fine silver.

We are excited about your interest in our jewelry! If you happen to visit the island of Maui, you can view our complete collection at the Four Seasons Resort in Wailea on Wednesdays from 8-1:30 pm. We would love to meet you!
