Niessing
Essence of Contemporary Design
Vreden, Germany is home to the renowned German jewelry design firm Niessing, founded in
1873. Over the decades, the company has expanded to become a recognizable brand associated
with state-of-the-art, highly contemporary rings, jewelry, and watches. Niessing’s
mission is to produce impeccable, exceptionally crafted pieces created with only the
highest quality materials—18-karat gold in seven colors, platinum, and occasionally 22- and
24-karat gold. In recent years, Niessing has been honored with many German and
international design awards.
Design at Niessing is understood as the process by which jewelry is adapted to the physical
and emotional needs of users. The pieces are comfortable to wear and the contact with the
material satisfies. Created to reflect the spirit of the times and giving a heightened
sensual experience to wearer and beholder, the pieces call for closer examination. Reduced
and simple in form—though derived from the complex—it is constructive. This simplicity
allows for the appreciation of materials and design principles at their most essential
level.
