Swinging Pampille diamond ring di Marie Mas

In the new collection, the kinetic jewels of Marie Mas now also move the diamonds ♦ ︎

Jewels are living objects, which become part of the wearer. But those of the designer Marie Cabirou are even more alive. They move, in fact. The Maison Marie Mas has just launched the reinterpretation of the Swinging Stones collection. And after the color stones debut now the kinetic jewels move the diamonds. The silhouette of stones mounted on reversible frames remains, but includes diamonds juxtaposed to tourmalines. The collection is inspired by biomimétisme, the mysteries of the underwater world and the elements in nature.

They are unique pieces, made with ingenious patented mechanisms: 13 pieces (six rings and six earrings) set in 18-carat rose gold.

“I’m looking for movement, poetry in the complexity of the mechanism, and I love to bring a touch of magic to my jewels, blend it with a playful touch My jewels come to life when they are worn and that’s why I want to take you on a delightful trip,” he says Marie. “I started playing with the idea of using diamonds in my design for a while and I was eternally drawn to the timeless beauty and elegance of these stones.” The new line of jewelry is a bit detached from the pastel-colored jewels in shades of pink and blue.

Kinetic jewels stop

The German designer Barbara Schulte-Hengesbach, famous for her kinetic jewels, passes the delivery to her daughter Claudia ♦ ︎
Kinetic jewels stop. Or, better, they take a little rest their creator, the German designer Barbara Schulte-Hengesbach, who after 30 years has decided to put down the pencil and hand over to her daughter Claudia Schmeddinge and her partner, Andreas Lehmann. The Dusseldorf gallery that has exhibited his creations, has therefore lowered the shutters, but only to renew and make an appointment in March 2018. Curiously, the designer who prefers the refined movements of rings, necklaces and bracelets has announced that at the age of 71 will dedicate to her favorite hobby: fishing, in the Netherlands (but without giving up a role of advisor on her former activity).
The professional history of Barbara Schulte-Hengesbach began in 1971, after a jewelry design school. Then, she soon began to design the jewels that have become a sort of design icon: kinetic jewels. These are almost always rings in 750 yellow gold, with frames that move without visible joints or hinges. It is not easy. This is why the designer won the number of prizes. Now all that remains is to wait for the new collections this time signed by the couple Schmedding-Lehmann, who for years has joined Barbara Schulte-Hengesbach in her work. Giulia Netrese

Motion ring, in oro e diamante: la parte superiore ruota

Barbara Schulte-Hengesbach, whom we knew last year at Baselworld, is a German designer who knows how to play with the compass, pencil and ruler. Or, more likely, with the computer mouse. The jewelry that offers creative from Düsseldorf, prepared in his bright lab, have the Northern soul, with their linearity. But, above all, they stand out because they are kinetic jewelry. That is, they have parts that move and make the bijou something between a clothing accessory and a game. But in reality the conceptual process to achieve the jewelry is very severe: the different parts are to be drawn and, above all, made to perfection to resist over time and provide the desired effect to the wearer. As with the Motion ring, in yellow gold and diamond: the top can spin. Or Stardust necklace, glitter combined with yellow gold and hi-tech ceramics cooked to 2500 degrees for five days, one of the existing hard materials. Here are some of the pieces by Barbara Schulte-Hengesbach. Matilde de Bounvilles
