Hemmerle unique nature inspired jewelry
The history of the German jewelry house Hemmerle began in 1893, when two brothers Joseph and Anton Hemmerle founded their company. Originally, the company produced medals, orders and other regalia. Among the customers of the company was the Bavarian Royal Court.
Having undergone a serious design evolution, the company’s craftsmen came to naturalistic ornaments finding inspiration from seemingly ordinary things, such as vegetables. Thus appeared the most sensational collection – Delicious Jewels. Noteworthy, the idea came to the designer when he cut vegetables for salad.
In addition to traditional precious metals, craftsmen used copper, aluminum and steel. Hemmerle took a step towards the experiments in 1995, when Stefan Hemmerle, at the request of one client, installed a diamond in a rim of iron. Since then, masters have used copper, brass, iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and rare woods in the manufacture of jewelry along with precious metals, stones and pearls.
Hemmerle, known for their experiments with different metals, fiercely defends their right to “artistry”. They paint aluminum in different colors, decorate it with precious stones scattered not only from the outside, but also from the inside. As a result, collectors adore Hemmerle jewelry.
According to Christian Hemmerle, they never give their belongings to auctions. At the same time, Hemmerle unique pieces permanently and successfully appear at Christie’s and Sotheby’s.
