A sombre landscape featuring the dark contemplation of a winged genius sitting idly amid parts of a mysterious symbol of the world of art and science.

Ever since its creation in 1514, Albrecht Dürer’s engraving “Melancholia I” has fascinated many artists, thinkers, and scientists. It notably features an enigmatic geometric solid, a polyhedron or a type of rhombohedron, which is the immediate inspiration for the DÜRER collection.

Regarded by many as a depiction of the legendary philosopher’s stone, for the jewelry creator, it primarily represents the synergy between art and science.

The collection’s pieces are crafted from a proprietary blend of noble concrete developed by Monika Kreft in her own workshop. The main component of this blend is marble.

Artificial stone is paired with natural brass in a beautiful golden color. The contrast between the raw geometric stone and the shiny metal creates an intriguing composition in each collection piece.
