The timeless aesthetics of the minimalist-looking pieces of jewellery by Ute Eitzenhöfer open up to a variety of perspectives: when worn, they encourage us to engage in dialogue. Text in English and German.

That Ute Eitzenhöfer’s jewellery is related to contemporary phenomena is beyond any doubt. The longevity of precious metals and stones is juxtaposed with the rapid development of social realities — or with our increasingly overwhelmed perception of them. In particular, our power and powerlessness in dealing with meanwhile highly complex communication are a source of inspiration for her works. The seemingly timeless aesthetics of the minimalist-looking pieces of jewellery nevertheless open up to a variety of perspectives: when worn, they encourage us as wearers or beholders to engage in dialogue and bring about an immediate exchange.
