The story behind "Für Alma" is inextricably linked to the harrowing events of World War II, specifically the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz.

One of the crown jewels of the collection is the Fur Alma Necklace, a breathtaking piece that features over 1,000 individual fibers of 18k gold, woven together to create a shimmering, three-dimensional effect. Adorned with diamonds and precious gemstones, this necklace is a true masterpiece of jewelry design, with a price tag to match (approximately $100,000).
While most luxury houses use Grade 1 sable, Steinberg insists on "Glacier Sable"—a variant so rare it represents less than 2% of the annual Russian harvest. These pelts are distinguished by a natural, silver-blue luminescence that mimics the light of the Arctic dawn. Steinberg personally travels to St. Petersburg to hand-select each pelt, rejecting thousands to find the specific grain and depth required for the Alma.
