The magic of
the floating diamond
A BURNING PASSION FOR RADIANT DIAMONDS
Forging a Niessing Spannring requires extensive knowledge about the precious materials, a great deal of craftsmanship, and a generous portion of innovative spirit. But the most important thing, as always, is the people involved: our designers, goldsmiths, and stone setters are passionate team players. It is their trained eye and their love for detail that make the diamond float in every single Niessing Spannring®: free, yet safe and secure.
SURROUNDED ENTIRELY BY LIGHT
The principle of the Spannring is as simple as it is revolutionary: the diamond is set in a band at two of the smallest possible points and held securely; it is visible from all sides, appearing to float. The light surrounding it brings it to life, making it shine in every color. A band, a floating diamond – that's all it takes for the original.
DEEP ROOTS IN BAUHAUS DESIGN
The Niessing Spannring® is an aesthetic unit, a sculpture that gets to the heart of the matter. It is also a wonderful example of the great art of reduction and the Bauhaus credo »less is more«. Like no other piece of Niessing jewelry, the Niessing Spannring® embodies our deep roots in Bauhaus design.
A RING BECOMES A WORK OF ART
In 2001, the Niessing Spannring® Round was protected by copyright (© Walter Wittek) and elevated to the rank of a work of art. Museums all over the world display such a Niessing original in their collections. Only the Niessing Spannring® is the original with the »Heart and Arrow« punch mark. Great craftsmanship, sophisticated technologies, and special forging techniques are required to make a Niessing Spannring®. Niessing has over 40 years of experience in this area and has mastered all the necessary techniques to perfection. Special metal alloys were developed especially for the Niessing Spannring®: Only these allow the tension force to be precisely regulated and permanently maintained.
ICONIC DESIGN IN A VARIETY OF SHAPES
With its circular cross section, the Spannring Round gets to the heart of the aesthetics and the idea of the Spannring. Over the years, Niessing designers and goldsmiths have further developed this original shape and created a variety of different Spannrings. There are simple shapes as well as unusual ones; Spannrings that securely hold smaller diamonds and those that perfectly showcase large diamonds. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the manufactory, we are celebrating our icon with an extravagant design that takes an entirely new look at the Niessing Spannring®. Are you ready for the original?
