Humphrey Earrings Twister Turquoise

ball 14mm reconstructed turquoise

The objective that Humphrey set for himself in Zusamm The aim of the collaboration with Norbert Muerrle for this jewelry line was to find a stainless steel material that is elastic. After more than a year of development work, we now have a 2mm strong fabric consisting of many individual stainless steel threads in different alloys and thicknesses. The stainless steel threads are twisted and processed together. Only the correct arrangement delivers the desired properties.

With this earring, the bracket can be easily opened to put the earrings on. The bracket then springs back into the closed position and secures the piece of jewelry against loss. The weight is kept to a reasonable level and the earrings are comfortable to wear.

Reconstructed Turquoise:

In reconstructed turquoise, turquoise that is not suitable for jewelry in its current form is pulverized and solidified using high pressure and a binding agent.

The “stone” is therefore man-made. We like the properties it has: resistant to impact, not brittle, color-stable, durable.

The design of the balls may be reminiscent of the “retro style”. What is certain is that these pieces are simply beautiful.
