Antique Jewellery
*Timeless Rings, Now in Munich & Berlin

written SARAH ARENDTS

Rheinfrank Antique Jewellery opens paths into the world of vintage engagement rings. The brand crafts pieces rooted in history, gemstones, and timeless design.

Each ring comprises heritage, artistic detail, and symbolic power. Rheinfrank draws you into a space where love becomes visible in silver, gold, and platinum settings. Rheinfrank Antique Jewellery operates from two physical showrooms: one in Berlin Mitte and a newly opened space in Munich. The Munich showroom invites meetings by appointment, showcasing the same passion and selection found in Berlin. In each location, rings sit under soft light, gemstones radiate hues, and every setting tells a story written in craftsmanship.

Every piece in the Rheinfrank collection holds meaning. Diamonds shine with eternal promise. Sapphires carry calm and depth. Rubies pulse with warmth and bold passion. Emeralds reveal lush green glimmers. Colored gemstones such as aquamarine, peridot, and tourmaline deliver subtle charm. Art Deco styles shape many rings with geometry, symmetry, and detailed filigree. Every facet, every cut, and every setting expresses devotion through design.

Rheinfrank sources rings that preserve eras. Victorian engravings, Edwardian details, jewelry from early 20th century Art Nouveau—all pieces with provenance. Jewelry discoverable online, and in showrooms where hands can trace the filigree, eyes can follow reflections in gem surfaces. Each ring is restored with care. Settings checked, stones secured, and patinas preserved where they enrich the story.

Expert guidance awaits every visitor. The team facilitates selection with attention to fit, personality, gemstone quality, and design style. Consultation sessions in Munich and Berlin offer evaluation of rings, explanation of gemstone clarity, cut, color, and setting styles. Ring sizes adapted. Repairs and restorations handled with precision. Every engagement ring feels chosen, not merely bought.

Rheinfrank Antique Jewellery’s showroom in Munich opens new doors for those seeking vintage rings closer to home. The Munich showroom mirrors the care, the inventory, and the detail of Berlin’s original space. Each showroom presents signature pieces and rare finds. Some rings travel between locations to offer highlighting moments. Clients in Munich find access to large-scale catalogues, old-world stone settings, and personal service. Berlin remains anchor, Munich expands presence, both rooted in genuine antique jewellery culture.

Gemstones form the heart of every ring. Brilliant cut, rose cut, cushion, old mine cuts: diverse shapes that echo history. Gold, rose gold, platinum settings crafted to highlight each gem. Settings hand-polished. Fine details like engraving, milgrain edges, bezel settings all care for authenticity. Materials selected for their original quality and durability. Rings resist time.

Rheinfrank Antique Jewellery pushes craftsmanship forward. Restoration workshops ensure longevity. Each ring repaired to honor original design. Cleaned with methods that preserve character. Gemstones tightened without losing hallmarks. Every ring remains heirloom-worthy.

Rheinfrank stands for vintage engagement rings, gemstones, expert craftsmanship, and physical presence in Germany. Berlin and Munich offer choice and experience. Whether drawn by Art Deco geometry, Victorian engraving, nature motifs in Art Nouveau, or the quiet elegance of an old cut diamond—each piece offers voice to a love story.

Italian High Jewelry *Tornaghi

TORNAGHI Spring/Summer 25
*The Architecture of Adornment

written AMENDA MORTENSON

In the high reaches of St. Moritz, at the corner of elegance and audacity, a quiet revolution glimmers.

Tornaghi—an Italian house of high jewelry with a 45-year lineage—presents its Spring/Summer 2025 collection as a tactile manifesto of emotion, strength and unfiltered beauty. This is a moment. A shimmer stretched across time.

Founded by Maria Tornaghi in Monza and now steered by her son Andrea, the family atelier honors its legacy while leaning toward bolder lines and unexpected finishes. The pieces are architectural gestures. They are declarations.

This season's epicenter is the Rock Collection, a convergence of ultralight titanium, luminous pavé diamonds, and form-defiant silhouettes. A cuff bracelet in burnished brown titanium pairs with rose gold connectors—weightless and magnetic. Rings glint in fuchsia and violet tones. Earrings shimmer with engineered precision. The titanium sings against the skin. Diamonds catch breath and light.

And yet, Rock is only the ignition point. Tornaghi branches into a garden of symbolic forms and sensorial touches. The 4LUCK Collection introduces shimmering clovers, delicate yet unwavering. Their subtle sparkle invites ritual. Each leaf, a private token. Each piece, a personal talisman. Then comes Baby Bang, an intimate rhythm in gold-plated silver or titanium, with a single bead of 18-karat gold and 0.24 carats of brilliant diamonds. It clasps the wrist like a whisper, humming with understated presence.

For those drawn to liquid curves and mineral light, Pure Pearl distills classic elegance into something breathable and light. A composition of restraint and grace, it allows the natural iridescence to speak without flourish. The pieces accompany spring like the echo of sunlight across linen—quiet, essential. Color erupts through the Summer Pop Rings—smooth stones, glossy surfaces, full-spectrum joy. Sculptural and spontaneous, they act as mood artifacts. Not statements or contrasts. Just form in motion.

The Mystique Series, marked by serpentine forms and textured scale motifs, offers a mythic edge. In white and rose gold, embedded with triangle and brilliant-cut diamonds, the snake rings wrap the hand with hypnotic certainty. A choker follows—fluid and commanding. A line drawn across the collarbones like an incantation. Tornaghi also revisits the Riviere with a necklace cast in 18-karat rose gold, drenched in multicolored sapphires. Over 31 carats of chromatic precision arranged like an ombré dreamscape. It pulses with intention.

“Each piece in the new collection is a dazzling expression of artistry, designed to ignite the imagination and celebrate individuality.”

Throughout the collection, tension is calibrated with exquisite care—rigid cuffs with yielding metals, industrial palettes with rare stones, elemental forms with refined finishings. There is discipline. And there is desire. Tornaghi's Spring/Summer 2025 is born from both.

Backdrops shift from the vaulted ceilings of Zürich salons to the high-altitude charm of Via Serlas in St. Moritz, but the spirit remains unshaken. Each piece is imagined to live beyond trends. These are lifelong companions—designed to be worn and to be lived in.

As the house enters this new chapter—bolder, brighter, yet unmistakably grounded in its heritage—it does so with clarity.
There is no looking back. There is only brilliance ahead.

This timepiece is part of a limited series of six new color variants in the Club Sport Worldtimer line. Its dial, rendered in a bold anthracite tone reminiscent of volcanic rock, introduces a refined chromatic depth to the collection. The look is tactile and mineral, without becoming ornamental. It’s a precise composition of shape and substance.

The 40 mm stainless steel case features a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. At just 9.9 mm in height, it wears flat and balanced, secured by a durable Club Sport bracelet with quick-change spring bars and a 20 mm lug width. With water resistance up to 10 ATM, the Volcano edition moves seamlessly from day to evening, city to travel.

Its engine is the DUW 3202, an in-house automatic caliber designed for technical and visual harmony. The worldtime mechanism, paired with a red 24-hour hand and a day-night display, allows for simultaneous reading of two time zones, ideal for those living across borders. White Superluminova ensures readability in dim light, integrated into the hour markers and hands.

NOMOS assembles each movement in Glashütte using traditional methods and proprietary innovation. The DUW 3202 features the NOMOS swing system, a stop-seconds mechanism, and a bidirectional winding rotor. The balance bridge, blue balance spring, and regulation in six positions reflect a commitment to precision. A sapphire caseback showcases the rhodium-plated surfaces decorated with Glashütte ribbing and perlage, while the ratchet and duplex wheels display a sunburst finish.

On the wrist, the Volcano edition carries weight through detail rather than excess. It communicates clarity and control, with a dark dial that changes with the light, from cool slate to deep charcoal. The restrained color is interrupted only by the quiet accent of the red 24-hour hand, introducing just the right amount of tension within the harmony. This is a limited edition of 175 pieces only. Each watch is engraved accordingly: "Limited Edition – Volcano 1/175." It is a watch that travels, but does not shout. Its presence is refined and expressive of a design language that values materiality and nuance.

NOMOS Glashütte brings mechanical ingenuity into dialogue with restrained aesthetics. The Club Sport neomatik Worldtimer Volcano lives in this space—a watch of precision, made for individuals who move across time and space with intention.
