Jewels from Metnitztal – kaernten.ORF.at

Susan Begremovsky grew up in the Mtnitz Valley. Here she and her husband Werner, from Vienna, spent many weekends and holidays. Now the two daughters are grown up and the parents decided to return to Metnitztal and work here.

Closed business in Vienna

According to Susan Begremovsky, the decision to abandon the jewelry store in Graben after decades of living and working here was a shared one: “In the final section, we simply asked ourselves, Do we want that bike you have in the city again? Then we said no, we’ll go back to Metnitz.”

Werner Pejrimovsky added that they both believed that one had to go back to the original ideas to reduce and take things back. They added a studio to Susanna’s parents’ home. It was recently completed and now the individual handcrafted pieces are displayed and sold here. You can also watch the jeweler in action.
