About the Brand
Hemmerle jewelry is considered as one of the rarest and sought after among jewelry aficionados. The House officially sells its creations only in one location in the world, at the Hemmerle store in Munich. The store was open in 1904 and remains at the same address until today.
The brand was founded in 1893, and soon after Hemmerle became a go-to jeweler for the Bavarian royal family. In 1995 the firm decided to conceptually transform the vision. Hemmerle took a direction towards avant-garde aesthetic. Today each Hemmerle piece carries a unique modern style permeated with cultural references.
Hemmerle masters craft their creations on-site with no outsourced work involved. A process of making a piece takes up to 500 hours. The House applies the latest technologies and constantly pushes its limits with the new processes of craftsmanship.
Artful Hemmerle pieces are made by using innovative and surprisingly unconventional materials. Colorful conch-pearl, copper for texture, zircon for sparkle – the House is well-known for uniqueness and unorthodox approach. Hemmerle micromosaics goes along with aluminum settings, and gold often get mixed with silver in a special alloy to add a right color to a gemstone mounting. Edgy design executed with century-old techniques and German precision allow each Hemmerle jewelry piece to be a one-of-a-kind creation.
About vintage brooches
Since we started making our very first steps into the jewelry world, vintage brooches and pins have always been our favorite pieces. Wearing a brooch is a smart, unique way to express your personality and style. Pin it to your lapel, scarf or a bag, and with just one brooch alone you can create the whole new fashion piece out of any garment or accessory. Some brooches could be worn as pendants, so you get two pieces in one. A brooch is an amazing jewel that is fun, elegant and expressive at the same time.
French vintage brooches are even more special to us. Being famous for its extraordinary craftsmanship, each French jewelry maker has their own recognizable take on it. Either it's a prestigious Cartier or Van Cleef & Arpels or non-branded French brooch we appreciate its sophisticated beauty and exquisite quality. One of our all-time favorites is a dress clip. The design came from 1920s and since then has been appreciated by the jewelry lovers for versatility and original look it provides to any style.
