Annette Ehinger’s hand cut gemstones

Every February, Stefan visits Europe’s largest jewelry trade fair in Munich, Germany. This fair houses some of the words largest and innovative jewelry brands, as well as the newest technical equipment in making jewelry. What attracts Stefan the most are the emerging artists that think outside the box while making luxury pieces. These artists he visits each year at the fair, to see what they have been creating over the past year.

One of these artists is Annette Ehinger from Pforzhiem, Germany. She has been making her award winning jewelry since 2004. Annette begins by selecting high quality raw gemstones and slowly hand forms these to find their perfect individual shape. Once she is satisfied with the gemstone, she highlights their beauty by suspending them within a gold setting, in either a pair of earrings, a necklace or ring. The special characteristic of her pieces, is that the stones are not held in a static setting but are free to move and catch the light.

What is a Rutilated Quartz Crystal?

And how this gemstone found its home in a design by Stefan.

Many years ago, Stefan was walking through a trade fair held in the German countryside, where every year there is one of Europe’s largest gemstone fairs. Among the thousands of stones, a beautiful pair caught his eye. They were two rutilated quartz crystals, unusually clear, with strong silver-coloured needles of titanium dioxide shooting through them.  Though this gemstone is not uncommon, it is rare to find one so clearly displaying the silver shots sometimes referred to as “The Hairs of Venus”.  And to discover a pair of them together…? Truly unique.

The stones stayed in the safe for quite some time – Stefan waiting for the right moment and the perfect design to justify their beauty. Finally, only a month ago, eight years after uncovering them at the fair, the first of these treasures have inspired a repeat visit from one of our clients. The first stone has found its home in a gold pendant. The design has a minimal, yet strong architectural aesthetic, gently encasing the stone, allowing ample light to filter through.

Stefan is excited to share the finished piece with you here for the first time. Let us know what you think!
