PRS – Patrizia-Romina Spenga

The German-Italian jewellery artist and museologist PRS – Patrizia-Romina Spenga lives and works in Hamburg.

Her pieces of jewellery are characterized by a harmonious combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern, playful design and often feature organic shapes and subtle details.

She combines precious metals with unconventional materials to create extraordinary and expressive creations and conceptual pieces. Her works are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also tell stories and invite the viewer to discover the deeper meaning and emotions behind each piece.
Spenga’s work has been presented in exhibitions and galleries in Europe and overseas and she also enjoys recognition in the contemporary jewellery scene.

After completing a traditional goldsmith apprenticeship and several years of professional experience, i.e. at Winfried Sommer Schmuck in Bremen, she graduated with honours in 2002 with a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Applied Museum Studies from Algonquin College, Ottawa, Canada.
After returning from Canada, she settled in Hamburg and founded PrunkWerk in the Grindel district in 2008 – a studio gallery for jewellery and jewellery classes – with space and room for also several artists in the field of jewellery and its design. This is where she creates all her works.
In 2020, she graduated as a designer in crafts at the Academy of Art and Design in Munich.

In 2023, she founded the PrunkWerk gallery in Hamburg’s Neustadt district. As a gallerist she represents international artists in the field of contemporary jewellery and unconventional arts and crafts.
