About Us

For many years we, Clarissa Semprich & Christian Dietes, have not only succumbed to the attraction of jewelry and gemstones for professional reasons. We would like to offer many of these highlights from age and new times a 2nd chance. A large part of these jewelry was made with considerable effort and often bought or given away with a lot of love. In many objects, gemstones were processed, for the formation of which the earth needed millions of millions to form a wonderful jewel.

We have delighted our small specialist shop not only in the sense of sustainability, the respect of nature, but also in the sense of appreciation to the jewelry itself. We tried to create a corresponding environment for the lovers of such jewelry from the 2nd hand.

True to the idea: Special things can be found in special places

Clarissa Semprich

I have been working as an auctioneer in the 2nd generation for more than 35 years. From childhood, I was allowed to experience my mother's auctions. So I was able to carry out auctions at a young age and gain a lot of experience. Even if at the beginning of my commercial professional life it didn't look like I was actually doing this profession, my way led me back there. In 1999 I took over my mother's classic auction house when she retired to well -deserved retirement. In 2005 I decided to react to the negatively changing market with antiques and dissolved the auction house. A small shop with antiques and jewelry was now being built on my idyllic residual courtyard. As an auctioneer, I was now only a freelancer and carried out the auctions for a large rental house in Hamburg for over 16 years. In 2014 I met my partner and business partner Christian Dietes. Through this encounter, the idea was born at some point to combine the common passion and to specialize in jewelry with the Much Too Much company.

The beginning of my professional career led me in a completely different direction. Although I was interested in gemstones as a child, it should be a very classic and technical craft profession. But the fascination for gemstone continued to sleep in me for many years. So after half of my professional life I decided to take a new way. Now the fascination should become a profession and a calling. Thus, the way to Idar-Oberstein, the center of the gemstones in Germany, led me to receive sound training. Today I can say that it was the right decision because it has really become my calling. The topic of gemstones is so complex and exciting that learning never stops. There are always new secrets to discover and no stone is like the other. When I met my partner and business partner Clarissa Semprich in 2014, after a while it was a matter of course for me to combine our knowledge and experiences in the Much Too Much company and to enrich each other.
