IsabelleFa: the masters of chain making – preserving old knowledge

The legacy of the ancient art of goldsmithing lives on in Eisingen, Germany. IsabelleFa creates unique chains, bracelets and necklaces thanks to the skills and know-how of their goldsmiths.

sabelleFa has its origins in a small goldsmith’s workshop that Emil Mössner set up in his home town of Eisingen in 1955. He specialised in making gold chains by hand and expanded his small atelier into a goldsmith’s workshop. The second generation, son Hans-Georg and his wife Isabelle Mössner, share the same passion for craftsmanship and are committed to preserving this ancestral knowledge and know-how.

Inspired by Isabelle and her maiden name Fagnoul, the brand IsabelleFa was created in 1987. Since then, the brand has stood for timeless, pure and generously proportioned jewellery that is made entirely by hand in Eisingen. Nowadays the third generation of the family, sons Alexandre and Patrick Mössner continue to cherish and preserve traditional goldsmithing techniques and carry on the legacy of their parents.

Only a few hundred chains are produced each year by IsabelleFa. Each stage of the manufacturing process is carried out by a master of the art over several weeks or months. The ancient techniques and traditional tools required belong to an almost forgotten art that was passed down through many generations.

The goal is perfection: IsabelleFa jewellery sets a high bar. To forge timeless classics, goldsmiths set the highest standards for themselves and their creations. It’s all about quality and longevity, an appreciation of the finest details and a love for craftsmanship. All this requires a lot of time and effort.

As a result, the number of pieces is naturally limited; they produce only a few hundred pieces of jewellery per year – no mass-production. IsabelleFa uses only recycled gold and platinum and works with the most sustainable refinery in Germany. All gemstones are sourced responsibly and certified.
