Infused Jewels

Infused Jewels is an experiential body of work inspired by the natural elements of herbal tea. Born out of collaborations with creatively aligned makers, Hemmerle’s fascination with humankind’s symbiotic relationship with nature has culminated in a multi-sensory project of ten pairs of earrings and three brooches, a bespoke tea blend, an illustrated modern fairy-tale, and a hand-crafted tea caddy. Taking shape over four years in total, the project inherently conveys the value of slowing down, contemplating, and savouring the moment.

2018

Revived Treasures

Hemmerle celebrated its 125th anniversary throughout 2018. Layered with cultural and historical references, the Revived Treasures project is a body of work that pays homage to Egyptian civilisation. It was unveiled at Tefaf New York Fall.

Hidden Treasures

Hemmerle’s Hidden Treasures further celebrated its 125th anniversary, exploring its heritage as medal makers. Bold one-off pieces draw inspiration from the house’s heritage of medals, ceremonial decorations and insignia becoming a creative cornucopia inspiring innovative contemporary works.

The [AL] Project

The [AL] Project explores the unique properties of aluminium through innovative design and exquisite craftsmanship, the result of several years of research at Hemmerle’s Munich atelier. Consisting of over 15 pairs of earrings and a brooch, the pieces are inspired by eclectic themes such as nature, minimalism and geometry.

2014

Nature’s Jewels

Nature’s Jewels, consisting of sixteen unique, naturalistic jewels, was inspired by fruits, seeds, leaves and trees. The realism and innovative use of materials in the project captures woodland tones alongside the textures of vibrant exotic fruits. This was celebrated with the publication of a poetry book, Nature’s Jewels.
