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.

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.

(c) TORNAGHI

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.

(c) TORNAGHI

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

Official Tornaghi press statement

(c) TORNAGHI

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.

(c) TORNAGHI

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.

VANDA NOVAK *FW24 Collection

.designer´s talk
with Dominika Nowak
Step into the Future with VANDA NOVAK

written Amanda Mortenson

Few names in fashion carry the raw, unapologetic spirit of innovation like VANDA NOVAK. The FW24 Collection marks a radical departure from past seasons while fiercely holding onto its avant-garde roots.

VANDA NOVAK doesn’t follow trends; it sets them. "I try not to look for already blazed trails and not to follow trends closely. I always try to find my own way and think as abstractly as possible, somewhat detached from what is happening during fashion weeks. A bit contrary to reality," says the designer. This philosophy comes to life in the brand´s FW24 Collection, where traditional craftsmanship collides with modern aesthetics, crafting a harmony that’s revolutionary and timeless.

“I want to make shoes that are very sensual but comfortable, contemporary but referring to tradition, feminine and delicate but strong in expression.”

Dominika Nowak speaks with Amanda Mortenson
LE MILE Magazine Digital, 2024

The collection dares to play with form, blending round and geometric shapes in a dance of contrasts. Picture extremely long boots with metal toes, round silver slingbacks, and square Art Deco mules. At the heart of it all is the image of a woman - a diva, drenched in glitter and metal, exuding confidence and elegance. "Winter is a sad, gray time in my latitude - hence the longing for sparkle and light," NOVAK reveals.

Balancing opposing elements is NOVAK's forte. "In my life, I try to follow the philosophy of balance, avoiding radicalism. It's a bit like a constant search for the golden mean," she explains. This quest is evident in the collection’s ability to merge sensuality with comfort, modernity with tradition, and delicacy with strength.

Footwear, often seen as mere accessories, becomes the centerpiece in NOVAK’s world. Each piece demands attention, redefining the concept of statement shoes. "A shoe is an important accessory to clothing. It can make the same outfit look completely different. It can redefine the silhouette and its character," NOVAK asserts. The FW24 collection embodies this belief, turning footwear into potent expressions of identity and style.

NOVAK's creative process is as unconventional as her designs. "I have no idea how I do it... I follow what I feel and what is authentic to me. I hope that sometimes I succeed," she admits. This authenticity shines through in every piece, inviting wearers into a world where tradition meets innovation and fashion becomes a journey of discovery.

VANDA NOVAK
FW24 Collection

As VANDA NOVAK continues to shatter the boundaries of contemporary footwear, the FW24 Collection stands as a testament to her vision. This is a bold statement, a rebellion against the conventional, and an invitation to embrace the daring and the beautiful. In NOVAK's realm, fashion transcends mere clothing—it's an experience and a revolution, one groundbreaking step at a time.

Von Köck Revolutionizes Glamour
Europe's First Eco-Chic Heritage Diamond Collection

written Sarah Arendts

Luxury and opulence often eclipse ethical considerations in the dazzling world of high-end jewelry. However, Austria's premier jeweler Von Köck is breaking the mold.

Charting an uncharted course, they unveil Europe's first heritage/recycled diamond jewelry collection. This is the dawn of a pioneering movement towards sustainable luxury.

Von Köck
Europe's First Heritage Diamond Jewelry Collection

The Sahara Collection, unveiled in 2023, marks a paradigm shift in how we perceive and appreciate luxury jewelry. Von Köck, nestled in the heart of Vienna on the prestigious Graben, has long been synonymous with unparalleled craftsmanship and exquisite designs. However, with this collection, they are adding another feather to their cap - that of environmental stewardship.

This groundbreaking collection is a testament to the brand's commitment to safeguarding the earth's finite resources. In a bold move, Von Köck has eschewed the use of newly mined diamonds. Instead, the collection boasts diamonds sourced from old stocks, inheritances, auctions, and second-hand goods. Each gemstone is carefully selected from existing pieces, ensuring that no new environmental footprint is created in their quest for beauty.

These diamonds undergo a meticulous process of reworking, cutting, and re-certification, aligning with the latest standards in Heritage/Recycled Diamond Jewelry. This process not only breathes new life into the stones but also ensures that each piece meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship that Von Köck is renowned for.

Felix von Köck, the visionary at the helm of this second-generation family business, encapsulates the essence of this venture:

"The combination of tradition and innovation, the creation of an atmosphere full of imagination and values ​​in which our work can thrive and grow into new dimensions - that is the world of VON KÖCK."

Von Köck's commitment to excellence is not confined to their jewelry creations. The brand is equally passionate about finding the best quality materials for their high-quality watch brands from Germany and Switzerland. This ethos of pursuing perfection while honoring cultural heritage and responding to consumer demands has been the cornerstone of their success.

Von Köck continues to innovate, with exciting new additions to the Sahara Collection on the horizon. Their journey is a shining example of how luxury and responsibility can coexist, creating a new standard in the world of fine jewelry.

Von Köck’s initiative is a timely reminder that luxury need not come at the cost of the environment. It is a clarion call to the industry and consumers alike, to redefine luxury in terms of not just aesthetic and quality but also its impact on our planet.

Von Köck Diamond Evolution
* From Raw Gem to Handcrafted Icon

written Amanda Mortenson

Amidst the shimmering allure of diamonds as symbols of flawless beauty and timeless grace, Vienna's luxury jeweler, Von Köck, elevates this admiration to unparalleled heights.

Moving beyond the globally accepted 4Cs—carat, cut, clarity, and color—this esteemed jewelry expert thoroughly scrutinizes each diamond for both exceptional quality and ethical sourcing. Once approved, the unblemished gemstone is entrusted to master artisans, where it transforms into a breathtaking masterpiece.

VON KÖCK
Vienna Luxury Jeweler
Collection Campaign

But what truly sets Von Köck apart is their thematic collections. In the Navette Collection, the spotlight is on the eponymously named Navette diamond. Its elongated, boat-hull-like cut serves as a canvas for Von Köck's artisans, who infuse a touch of subtle extravagance into the classical silhouette. The resulting pieces, including the statement choker adorned with 194 Navette diamonds set in white gold, capture the imagination and promise to dazzle at any high-profile soirée.

Not to be outdone, the Paraiba Collection exudes raw, magnetic allure. Centered around the rare Paraiba Tourmaline, whose vibrant turquoise to green shades pop dramatically against cool white gold, this collection is an irresistible siren's call for the discerning. Whether it's the earrings' exquisite blend of 26 green and blue Paraiba tourmalines or the rings that showcase the gem's electrifying luminance, every piece feels like a plunge into a turquoise lagoon or a deep azure ocean.

In contrast, the Rainbow Collection offers a burst of joy with its effervescent play on colors. Embracing the full spectrum of the rainbow, this collection primarily uses perfectly graded sapphires to celebrate life's vibrant hues. From earrings that dance with light and color to rings that narrate a tale of vivacity and contemporary aesthetics, there's a promise of a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow.

Taking inspiration from one of Vienna's iconic landmarks, the Schönbrunn Collection is a tribute to the 270-year-old Tiergarten Schönbrunn. Melding 18-karat gold with a bevy of precious stones, the collection reflects the majesty of both marine and terrestrial creatures. Whether it's the Firefish brooch-pendant alive with diamonds, sapphires, and rubies, or the rings capturing the essence of giraffes and zebras, the designs ooze meticulous attention to detail and undeniable sophistication.

Von Köck is not just about selling jewelry; it's about narrating tales of tradition coupled with innovation. Nestled in Vienna's prestigious Graben and helmed by the second-generation Felix Köck, the brand has cemented its place among Austria's premier jewelers. Their philosophy? A perfect blend of honoring cultural heritage while tuning into the wishes of their patrons.

For Von Köck, jewelry-making transcends mere craft; it's an ongoing journey "From Generation to Perfection."

ANNA AURAS
- Embodying Motherhood with "Welcome to Earth"

written Sarah Arendts

Motherhood is a dance of contrasts. It's a transformative journey woven with sleepless nights, endless love, stark realities, and the deepest of connections. ANNA AURAS, with her newest collection "Welcome to Earth," offers a tactile representation of this primal bond. Each piece in the collection is a symphony of moments - love, beauty, and intimacy - a canvas that paints the marvels of nature with poetic finesse.

Welcome to Earth Collection

Drawing inspiration from ancient coins, the “Welcome to Earth” medal, meticulously hand-minted, becomes the centerpiece. Reflecting the detailed topography of our world, these medals, available in gold and silver, represent the bond every life shares with Mother Earth. And with their transformation into pendants and rings, they stand as a testament to the ageless journey of mothers and their offspring.

But ANNA AURAS's commitment doesn’t stop at evoking emotions. With a foundation rooted in sustainability and transparency, her jewelry is an emblem of ethically sourced luxury. Marrying traditional craftsmanship with pioneering techniques, she ensures that each piece tells a story that's both timeless and resonant. Her Stuttgart-based atelier becomes a cauldron of creativity where recycled and RJC-certified precious metal takes shape, adhering to the brand's promise of quality and responsibility.

Anna’s journey into the world of jewelry is a tale worth telling. Honing her craft at the esteemed Zeichenakademie in Hanau, she further enriched her skills under the mentorship of notable designers in Berlin and Hamburg.

Today, her creations effortlessly blend contemporary aesthetics with age-old craftsmanship, putting material quality at the forefront. From bespoke creations to wedding rings and even her signature lines, Anna’s vision finds resonance across her diverse offerings.

However, what truly sets Anna apart in the crowded world of jewelry design is her steadfast commitment to ethical sourcing. Transparency isn't just a buzzword for her; it's a credo. Each gemstone, embedded in her creations, carries a clear lineage, sourced from merchants who value the origins.

The metals, shimmering and gleaming, owe their luster to German firms, all of which bear the "Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC)" certification, ensuring that every piece is as ethical as it is beautiful.

ANNA AURAS isn’t just offering jewelry; she's offering a narrative. A narrative that's rooted in love, commitment, and an unwavering responsibility to both the planet and its inhabitants.

Through the “Welcome to Earth” collection, ANNA AURAS invites us all to share in this journey, one where each piece whispers the age-old greeting, "Welcome to Earth."
