In 1920, the eponymous founder of Heribert Engelbert laid the foundation of what would a century later prevail as one of the most prominent jewellery houses in Scandinavia today and sustained by four generations. Heribert had a son named Stig who would take over the business as soon as he had finished his training as a goldsmith. In the late 1940s, Stig founded the studio named ‘Stigbert’, and the company started manufacturing jewelry. Thus began a new era in Swedish art jewelry using the Scandinavian design language.
