History

[edit]
Wellendorff boutique at the KaDeWe Berlin

The manufactory was established in 1893 by Ernst Alexander Wellendorff and is now run by his great-great grandchildren.[1]

Example of a "Wellendorff rope"

The Wellendorff rope first appeared in 1977, its recipe unchanging through the years. Christoph Wellendorff claims that their jewellery cannot be replicated exactly how they craft it.[2] Since 1993 the company has produced a collection of cold enamel jewellery and rings.[3]
