December 2016 165 www.bahrainthismonth.com This internationally renowned German brand has been creating pieces of timeless beauty for discerning jewellery lovers for almost 300 years. Diamonds and coloured gemstones are some of the most exquisite natural wonders on our planet. For more than four generations, Hans D. Krieger has dedicated itself to these unique beauties of nature, unveiling their magical glow with the perfect cut. However, it’s only in combination with high-carat gold or platinum and a keen a sense of design that the brand truly brings its masterpieces to life. History The love of exquisite gems and a passion for sophisticated pieces has a long tradition at Hans D. Krieger. With a rich past going as far back as the 18th century, the company has developed into one of the most important international jewellery strongholds in Germany. Exquisite creations with coloured stones and diamonds played a key role and the name Hans D. Krieger became a byword for the highest quality. Craftsmanship Centuries of knowledge and experience, a keen sense of timeless design and the finest craftsmanship handed down through the generations, supported by cutting-edge technology, are what goes into the creation of the brand’s fine masterpieces. Today, Hans D. Krieger is known across Germany as the only jewellery manufacturer that can combine all steps in the production process under one roof, from diamond and gemstone cutting and goldsmithing to designing. Whether it’s the primal fire of the colourless diamond or the wonderfully illuminating blue, green or yellow of coloured diamonds and stones; the company’s jewellery is known for its special glow. The secret is the in-house diamond and gemstone-cutting workshop. Here, the exquisite natural gems are worked on in the hands of a master, revealing the rich colouring – the more perfect the cut, the more intense the brilliance. Collection Fashioned by nature and designed by human hand, Hans D. Krieger creates jewels for the most precious moments in life. Beautifully and intricately crafted sets of necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, rings and other adornments are available in various sizes. The ‘5 Cs’ of Diamonds Carat, clarity, colour, cut and confidence are a global benchmark for evaluating the quality of diamonds. Trust and transparency are key when buying these stones – Hans D. Krieger exclusively uses diamonds with precisely certified origins. Fancy Colour Diamonds Whether bright yellow, subtle pink or gentle caramel – colour diamonds are some of the rarest (pink, blue and green tones are particularly rare) and most exquisite gems in nature, and only the most beautiful and purest of them are used in the company’s jewellery. The brand first introduced the colourful stones to the German market around 50 years ago. Today, it’s one of the most renowned names in the world when it comes to fancy colour diamonds. Gold The origins of this fine metal are particularly important to Hans D. Krieger, and hence the manufactory uses exclusively “ethical” gold, which is acquired from certified precious metal refineries that adhere to the “Responsible Gold Guidance” principles drawn up by the London Bullion Market Association. The metal processed by the brand is sourced either from a transparent and accountable supply chain or from precisely-documented secondary sources such as recycled jewellery. Platinum For many years, the brand has used its own platinum-gold alloy, Infinite White Platinum, with great success. This alloy, which the company developed itself, has a fine metal proportion of 97.3 per cent and a whiter colour than is usual on the market. It is also harder than other platinum alloys, can be more easily processed and protects against signs of use for a longer time while preserving the beauty of the jewellery. It also does not contain any allergenic substances such as cobalt. Processed in the company’s in-house foundry, this is technical innovation and craftsmanship of the highest level. Hans D. Krieger’s collections are available in Bahrain at Asia Jewellers. Call 17 131-122 or visit www.asiajewellers.com. ASIA JEWELLERS A Love of Jewellery
