A silver chain on a white piece of paper.

People who know about this sort of thing, what would you call this type of chain? I’ve had it since the 80s.

Image of computer controlled programmable kiln controller for lost wax casting burnout. Features a touchscreen LCD panel to start/stop and manage burnout.

Images is of a computer controlled kiln controller and a Neycraft brand manual temperature controlled kiln.

I built a new kiln controller. This time with touchscreen display. This is the 3rd kiln controller I've built. Same Neycraft manual kiln for ~30 years. Need to remove plastic film and finish screwing together, but test fire was 💯 #lostwaxcasting #jewelrymaking #silversmith #metalsmith #goldsmith

a goldsmith at Strasbourg I recently revisited the family history around the Weiß chronicles, which I hadn't touched in a long time, and discovered quite a few new things and some old things that I knew superficially but never investigated in depth. Among the latter is an ancestry line that came to the Hunsrück from Liège via Strasbourg and included a goldsmith or three. Specifically, my ancestor Johann Conrad von der Rosen was born 1599 in Strasbourg, came to Winterburg (not far from Eckweiler) and married Elisabeth Nesselius (daughter of another protestant priest, more about that in a separate entry) and settled as an innkeeper and "Gerichtsherr" (juryman?) at Winterburg where he died in 1656. His father, Franz Bolion von der Rosen is the goldsmith whose story I want to explore here. He worked at Strasbourg from 1579, so quite possibly in the rue des orfèvres, just northwest of the cathedral. Although it was only named thus in 1680, this street housed goldsmiths since the Middle Ages. Photo: Par Nikolai Karaneschev, CC BY 3.0, According to old family histories where he pops up, he was world famous in his time, see for instance this text from Karl Heinz Armknecht from the 1950s. As one of the genealogists who mention him pointed out, he has an entry in Thieme-Becker Künstlerlexikon, where I could track him down. As they spell him as Roosen, he appears in vol 28: Ramsden–Rosa. E. A. Seemann, Leipzig 1934, on pp 583-584: Basically the entry lists like a dozen sculptures by him that were known to be in the art collection of Elias Brackenhofer (1618-1682). I love they way the author specifies for each single item that the figure is naked. With classical sujets like Venus, Cupid et al. you would rather expect that they aren't wearing too many clothes but this entry spends a significant fraction of its word count on spelling that out every single time. Note also that the dictionary has nearly 150,000 entries so being included doesn't quite make you a household name. Apparently he had to flee from Liège to Strasbourg where he is recorded in 1579 (although I've failed to find a specific event at that time that might have endangered his life in Liège). At that time he was simply Franz von der Rosen. The Bolion being an extra he acquired upon acceptance into the goldsmiths' guild in Strasbourg, which happened before his marriage to Ottilia Flach on 21.1.1581 in St. Thomas church, Strasbourg. Which is interesting because ... Ottilia is from the Flach family that appears in Albert Schweitzer's family tree (his maternal line great-grandmother was nee Flach), and Schweitzer used to play the organ in St. Thomas church when he studied in Strasbourg some 320 years later. (Find Ottilia on GedBas too.) Anyhow, what troubles me is that the world-famous goldsmith has been completely forgotten outside the circles of genealogists who proudly present him in their family trees. While there is a family "de Rosen" in Liege, the members who turn up online tend to be much more recent than our refugee, apart from the earliest ancestor, Pierre Rosen, who was a citizen of Liège in 1520. So he could theoretically be the father of our earliest ancestor, the father of the Strasbourg goldsmith: Humbert / Humprecht Bolion von der Rosen born ca. 1530 in Liege, mentioned 1544-53 as an engraver in the guild list of the goldsmiths of Liège, married Gertrud de Pealier before 1560, then Ursula Meyer in Strasbourg in 1562, which seems to suggest that he came to Strasbourg earlier than the first date noted for his son. One generation on, we're running out of Roses, but his father in law, Jean de Pealier, was mentioned as an engraver and member of the goldsmiths' guild at Liège from 1548-54. His wife was called Marie Surdelle (which sounds like a made-up name as it translates as "sure of herself"). So we have a whole lot of goldsmithery going on here across three generations, shame that these people have fallen into oblivion. * * * Who is who? - see my new name index for all things family history.

this 16th century #goldsmith at #Strasbourg has been sitting on my #familyTree since 2013 but I never got round to having a closer look at his story until now. proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/03/a-goldsmith-at-s... #familyHistory #genealogy

Shelley is holding a silver bezel that she is making; her thumb is covered in green mesh tape to help grip and protect her fingers. Inside the bezel, you can see the silver jump ring she has made as the seat for the gemstone that will be set inside

Jewellery isn’t just what you see on the surface.

Sometimes a gemstone needs a hidden seat to sit on.
So I make one. Same metal. Hammered flat. Tucked inside the bezel.

The tiny details make the difference.

Want to see more behind the scenes?

A pair of pickleball paddles fabricated from silver wire, with yellow lava balls signifying the pickleball balls hanging inside the paddle’s frame.

Anyway, I made a pair of silly little earrings for my pickleball-obsessed friend.

Two blue/grey stones sitting on a metal block, next to a piece of sandpaper that has a strip of silver wire sitting on it. In the background is a wooden block with an array of polishing wheels poking out, and a set of small wooden drawers.

I really love London Blue Topazes (Topaii?). Not named that because they originate here, but rather because their blue/grey colour is reminiscent of our gloomy weather 😅💎☔️

A large round silver pendant. Inside the outer bezel is a 3-d layered scene of a girl sitting on a lilo in a lake, her feet dangling in the water, lily leaves floating around her. In the background is the moon half hidden by clouds.
