DISCOVER THE WORLD OF CERTAIN PACE

Certain Pace is a Berlin-based jewelry atelier specializing in handcrafted silver pieces with raw texture, sculptural form and deeply personal character. Working primarily with oxidized 925 sterling silver, the brand creates rings, pendants and custom-made objects that embrace natural imperfections, organic lines and the tactile depth of artisanal metalwork.

Each piece is individually crafted in small batches using traditional silversmithing techniques, resulting in jewelry that feels intimate, expressive and intentionally irregular. Certain Pace blends Berlin’s underground creative energy with a refined approach to craftsmanship, offering jewelry that evolves with wear and becomes uniquely tied to its owner.

CERTAIN PACE – RAW SILVERWORK, MATERIAL INTEGRITY & PERSONAL EXPRESSION

ORIGINS: A CREATIVE EXPERIMENT BECOMING A STUDIO PRACTICE

Certain Pace was founded by Berlin-based designer Leon Plötzer, who began exploring silverwork in 2020 while working out of a friend’s studio. What started as a personal creative experiment slowly evolved into a dedicated jewellery practice driven by curiosity, craftsmanship and the desire to make objects with meaning.

After relocating to Berlin, the project matured into a small independent atelier, where each piece is shaped by hand and treated as a unique expression rather than a production item.

This origin story grounds the brand in authenticity — rooted in experimentation, craft and the freedom of artistic growth.

DESIGN LANGUAGE: ORGANIC, TEXTURAL & INTENTIONALLY IMPERFECT

Certain Pace embraces the inherent irregularity of hand-forged silver. Instead of polishing surfaces into perfection, the brand highlights:

• oxidized finishes
• hammered textures
• asymmetrical contours
• layered or molten-like surfaces
• darkened patinas
• rugged yet refined shapes

The aesthetic draws from organic forms, Berlin subculture, vintage metalwork, and a hint of biker-inspired toughness — creating jewellery with presence, weight and emotional texture.

Each piece feels like an artefact — deeply personal, raw and expressive.

MATERIALS & TECHNIQUES: OXIDISED 925 SILVER, HAND-FORGED DETAIL

All jewelry is made using 925 sterling silver, often finished with oxidization to create depth and contrast. Leon works with traditional silversmithing tools: hammers, torches, hand-files, carving tools and patina processes that produce natural variations in tone and texture.

No two pieces are identical — slight asymmetries, surface markings and irregular forms are embraced as part of the aesthetic. This approach gives each item a unique identity and turns jewelry into a personal object with character.

The handmade nature ensures that the jewelry will evolve with wear, developing soft highlights and a patina that reflects the wearer’s life.

MEANINGFUL CONSIDERATION & CUSTOM-MADE WORK

Certain Pace places great importance on dialogue with clients. Many pieces are custom-made: Leon often discusses ideas, symbols or personal meaning before shaping a one-of-a-kind ring or pendant that reflects the wearer’s story. This aspect strengthens the brand’s philosophy: jewelry as a form of personal connection rather than decoration.

For individuals who want something truly unique — raw, organic, expressive — Certain Pace offers a personal approach rarely found in mainstream jewelry.

BERLIN IDENTITY: INDEPENDENT, QUIET, UNDERGROUND

The brand carries a distinctly Berlin attitude: independent, understated, experimental. Its pieces resonate with those who appreciate raw materials, imperfect beauty and the intimacy of handmade craft.

In an era of mass-produced accessories, Certain Pace stands for slowness, authenticity and the courage to create by hand.
