Schmuckkistl

About Schmuckkistl

The Schmuckkistl at Renngasse 1, on the corner of Theresiengasse, is a jewellery and piercing shop in Baden. Owner Bianca Ferrari is a trained goldsmith and, according to her own information, has been working as a piercer for more than 20 years.

Piercing

• Experience: for several years Bianca Ferrari also conducted the qualification exams for new piercers at the Chamber of Commerce.
• Process: beforehand you discuss whether the piercing you want is medically justifiable; the shop refuses piercings with a foreseeable health risk. Piercing is done with a disposable needle and sterile instruments, and the initial jewellery is grade 23 titanium or PTFE.
• Under 18: a parent or guardian must also sign the consent form, and ID must be brought along.
• Hygiene: according to the website, the shop has its hygiene and safety certified annually by an independent institute.
• Appointments: by phone only during opening hours

Jewellery

• Piercing jewellery: rings and studs for helix, conch and tragus, septum and daith rings, belly button, nose and industrial jewellery
• Jewellery: for women and children, biker jewellery, partner rings and branded jewellery, for example men's jewellery from Police and s.Oliver
• Handmade: one-off pieces such as chain rings, ear chains, necklaces and bracelets

Engraving and small repairs

• Photo and text engraving: you bring an image file and the engraving is done in-house. The shop promises completion within three working days, and the piece is often ready the same day.
• Repairs: shortening or replacing watch straps, changing batteries, shortening bracelets or piercing studs

The team

Working in the shop alongside her are Jack Kolar, who went from customer to employee in 2019, and on some days Bianca's mother Gisi, who previously ran the Schmuckkistl for more than 30 years at its former locations in the SCS and in Praterstraße in Vienna. A price list is available on the website.
