NIESSING SPANNRING®
ARE YOU READY FOR THE ORIGINAL?
The Niessing Spannring® embodies our deep roots in Bauhaus design like no other piece of Niessing jewelry. Since its invention over 40 years ago, this ring, which allows the diamond to float above the hand without any setting whatsoever, has become an icon of jewelry design that has won numerous awards. What could be a more appropriate way to celebrate the manufactory’s 150th anniversary than with a design that takes an entirely new look at the Niessing Spannring® and turns it into an opulent statement ring and an exclusive jewelry pendant?

Follow your emotions: »form follows emotion«
The Niessing Spannring® Era pays tribute to the original form of the Niessing tension ring and reinterprets it in a spectacular way. A perfectly round, endless band encircles the finger: sweeping, free, and graceful. It almost appears as if two rings are holding the diamond. Yet it is only one: Curving into two fine arches in an entirely organic manner, it gently and securely holds the precious diamond. A bold statement for the hand.
Inspired by the ideals of Bauhaus design
The new tension ring is inspired by the work of the Bauhaus movement. In 1926, leading architects founded an association called »Der Ring« (The Ring), among them the father of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius, and Ludwig Mies von der Rohe. At the same time, Mies van der Rohe designed the first flexible cantilever chair. It was later reported that van der Rohe created the design using a few strokes carried out with a mere »flick of the wrist«.
Sensuous minimalism meets pure beauty
The seemingly endless, curved form of the new Niessing tension ring also appears exceedingly light and natural – as if drawn on paper in a single, powerful stroke. This design gives the diamond spectacular freedom, at the same time providing it with the greatest possible security. The Niessing Spannring® Era represents the sensuous minimalism of Bauhaus design and translates the motto »form follows function« into »form follows emotion«.
