Effectives ways to broaden your product range – with something for every retailer! He is considered one of the pioneers of the “new German wave of coloured gemstones”. In the mid-1980s, he decided to depart from the well-trodden paths of the conservative world, discovering instead the internal beauty of raw precious stones, whilst experimenting and finding ways to accentuate the inclusions through reflection. By honing this forgotten craft, he triggered the renaissance of coloured gemstones – something he could not have predicted and was not understood by the older, more conventional world of gemstones. At Roland Simons’ studio, fine golden bands are handcrafted into beautifully sculpted, sweeping, and flowing chains. The design vocabulary is both extraordinary and unique in character. Be it in classical yellow gold, elegant white gold, delicate rose gold or in cool platinum – every design accentuates the individuality of its wearer. The chains are made in small series and some models are also available in silver. The jewellery is always based on an idea such as the repetition of a specific element. This creates mystery, compelling the onlooker to linger. The seemingly spontaneous arrangement reveals a playful approach to the materials. Trading under the name of Kleinod, Steffi King and Andreas Kriechbaum run their studio in Constance together. They make individual pieces of jewellery with traditional techniques, as well as wedding bands, eternity rings and engagement rings. At INOVA COLLECTION 2020, Kleinod is presenting the collections Muschel, Altes Eisen, Frisch gewickelt, PAGT and Verlobung (engagement). Thomas Knauf is the allrounder in this Area. He sees himself as a service provider, a partner, and a source of ideas for goldsmiths and jewellers. Besides making turned and cut pieces from every kind of material imaginable, he also offers laser engravings, 3D designs and the making of wax models for castings. At INOVA COLLECTION 2020, he will be unveiling his unique fountain pens for the first time which, with the exception of the nib, are all made in his studio. One of his most striking products is the “Vario Ring System”, an extensive design tool with which goldsmiths and jewellers can create an infinite number of unique rings. The winner of the GOLDEN NOVA audience award in 2019, Silke Lipsch is presenting her work at INOVA COLLECTION 2020 for the first time. Successfully reconciling nature and metal, she interprets blossoms, corals and even mildew mainly in silver.SELECTED GOLDSMITHS AND JEWELLERY DESIGNERS TO PRESENT THEIR LATEST CREATIONS AND TRENDS AT OUR THEMED “PHILIPP BECKER AREA”.
