OTTILIA
is a jewellery label founded by sisters Viola and Tabea in Cologne. The name, inspired by Viola’s second name, means “little treasure” — a perfect reflection of our pieces.
Viola began creating jewellery in 2021 during an internship at a goldsmith’s shop and soon brought Tabea on board. Together, they developed the first designs, Aleida and Schlingel. Since spring 2023, all pieces have been handmade in our Cologne studio.
Our designs combine timeless elegance with playful, sculptural elements. We create jewellery as lifelong companions — versatile in form, refined in detail, and made to last. Each piece is crafted from solid 925 sterling silver and carefully finished by hand.
Sustainability is at the heart of our work. We primarily use recycled sterling silver that has already been part of the precious-metal cycle, helping reduce the environmental and ethical impact of conventional jewellery production.
To create our signature aesthetic, every piece is first shaped in wax, then cast in silver and hand-polished — ensuring exceptional quality and individuality in every design.
