Artschatz is the German and American team of Jonathan and Rebecca. Its meaning is a play with words, the English word “Art” or the German word “Art” (which is a type or kind of thing) and the German word “Schatz” (pronounced “shots”) meaning treasure or a term of endearment. Artschatz presents types of treasures, art darlings, and products that spark joy. We currently carry magical Star Lights inspired by the Indian Diwali light festival. We have a close working relationship with a second-generation star making family in Delhi and offer a broad range of beautiful stars that will transform any room and uplift the spirit.
