From its inception Niessing has stood for exquisite contemporary jewellery design. Based in Vreden, Germany, they make all their jewellery in-house: from design, to melting bars of gold and finishing the piece. The Bauhaus principle of “form follows function” is the red line that connects all of their work, and is especially prominent in their Spannring collection.

Here the function of the pieces is to hold the gem securely by means of tension alone - not an easy feat considering gold is really very malleable. But Niessing has risen to the challenge and developed proprietary alloys with particular strength properties to suit the concept.

These phenomenal metals are married with innovative design and precision engineering. This often requires specialised production methods that lie far beyond the typical goldsmith’s bench tools. But in the pursuit of award winning contemporary design with challenging structural demands nothing is left to chance.
