Rings
The heart is considered the symbol of love. Newly developed is the variety, to make emotion hidden inside the ring. As a result, the unique feel is overwhelming when worn, the emotion is literally tangible and therefore becomes the confirmation of the person who wears the ring, whether open or in secret. The rings are a means to feel and preserve these loving feelings, emotionally in the heart as well as physically on the finger.

Collier
Eve's weapon is made of 750 carat rose and white gold. It contains 110 diamonds (20.2ct) and consists of 62 segments. All of them have two completely different appearances: In side view the segments are apple shaped, in top view V-shaped lines can be seen. Each segment is split sideways to create the spring loading effect holding the diamonds – the diamonds are held by tension only. This advantageously emphasizes the luminosity, brilliance and maximizes the visible radiance of the diamond. It allows for a extremely light and clear design, despite the size of the necklace.

Charms
Glueckskind charms are a promise for love: Baby Jamie cuddles up to the inside of the charm and trusts its life to the hands of the mother. The baby is laid on its back sucking its thumb. It is the mental vision of her unborn child that every pregnant woman has in her mind. The charm symbolises the unconditional mutual bond of trust between infant and mother and pays homage to this trust. Baby Sam is on top of the world, safe, healthy and happy. The wearer carries the baby with pride, presenting herself as a confident mother. The charm is a band saying: "Trust me, you are loved."

Concept to perpetuate emotions
There exist a lot of jewelry carrying memories about family or events. They have become old-fashioned since, but are too invaluable and beloved to be sold. They are often tucked away in the jewelry box. Meaningful Heart Jewelry is usually a pendant to be worn either on a necklace, sometimes as a charm, a brooch or key-holder. It is a new piece of jewelry in a new shape but it still perpetuates all the individual emotions and memories. It is without fail made from the beloved old gold that was trusted to BrittasSchmiede. It is a heart melting concept.
