The new pieces of fine jewelry by German Maison Hemmerle: new and surprising combinations materials.
As they say in German language «high jewelry»? It’s easy: you pronounce Hemmerle. La Maison conducted by Stefan and Christian Hemmerle not only has the courage as lions in presenting new forms, but always hits the mark (ie, produces heart palpitations to the traditionalists), with the use of materials that are not part of the history of jewelery, such as aluminum. Added to this is the quest for novelty in the processing of stones and metals, and the results are amazing. At Tefaf, which was held in October in New York, for example, Hemmerle also presented pieces made with copper, steel, bronze and aluminum, paired with sapphires of Kashmir and blacks or white diamonds, jade and silver, gold and agate. The contrast is strong, but also inspiring. Certainly the Hemmerle jewels, also these new pieces, you either love or hate. Probably those who love modern design, innovative, bold, will tend to appreciate this jewelry that, after all, in some respects reminds one vaguely Bauhaus style. Even the movement of designers and architects in the thirties was viewed with suspicion by the traditionalists. But today is an example of how design can become a work of art. Margherita Donato
