In 2018, the 21st Leibniz-Ring-Hanover award was presented by the Hanover press club. The expert jury of the most substantial German competition for jewellery designers was this year represented by Dr. Sabine Schormann, general director of the documenta exhibition in Kassel.

This year’s competition was won by Alena Jakunina Uthe and Nico Starke from the company J. Fischer & Sohn KG. who gained first place with their jewellery piece in night-black carbon and palladium against competition from 21 other participants from all over Germany. Last Tuesday (November 20, 2018) the award and the 3,500 euros prize money were presented to them by the secretary of the press club together with high praise.

About the prize-winning ring
A ring which bears witness to history – made to immortalise memories and honour the wearer and name giver.
The history of the division of Germany as experienced by Klaus Meine as an artist and his world-famous song “Wind of change” which was influenced by it, were taken up on the inside of the ring. The circular running theme symbolises the totalitarian system of socialism consisting of captivity and simultaneously a show of brotherliness between communist allies. This is contrasted with aspirations of peace and freedom between East and West Germany. These aspirations were expressed by J. F. Kennedy in 1963 with his famous words “I am a Berliner” and are part of the picture story.

Hard shell, soft core
The ring made from palladium 950/- and encapsulated in carbon is full of symbolic power. While carbon itself stands for the indestructible, adventure and discovery of the new, the deep black expresses masculinity and rock and roll. The robust carbon protectively surrounds the star of the album cover of “Wind of Change”, whereby the star at the same time is a guiding force and a symbol of protection and in connection with the set diamonds represents eternity.
As a special feature, ball bearings are integrated in the design to enable rotation of the inside of the ring. This trick is reminiscent of an endless chain and correspondingly takes up the initiative developed by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz – the endless chain of the extraction of ore in mining.

The external ring consists of wound carbon fibres which surround a star in 585/- apricot gold and a set diamond (0.023 ct. G/Si). The circular internal lettering is made with a laser and filled with a composite material based on ceramics in full night-black. Small applications are highlighted in colour.

21st presentation of the Leibniz-Ring-Hanover award
On December 5, 2018, the 21st presentation of the Leibniz-Ring-Hanover award will take place in Hanover at the Hanover Congress Centrum (HCC) where the ring will be presented to this year’s winner Klaus Meine (lead singer of the Scorpions rock group). With 500 invited guests, there is unprecedented interest in the event. The board of trustees of the Leibniz-Ring-Hanover chaired by Liz Mohn, member of the supervisory board of Bertelsmann SE include Lutz Marmor, director of North German Broadacasting (Norddeutscher Rundfunk), Jan Hofer, main announcer of the ARD news program and this year also Dr. Wilhelm Krull, general secretary of the Volkswagen foundation.

The board of trustees indicates the reasons for its decision as follows: “Klaus Meine is a composer, songwriter and singer. The Rolling Stones, Beatles and The Who were his role models. As frontman of the Scorpions with over 100 million sold records and almost 50 years of performing on stage he has contributed to the history of music. He used his international popularity and acceptance to build cultural bridges across country borders and across ideological lines. As a result, he was able to motivate people around the world to show tolerance and enjoy a peaceful coexistence. The song “Wind of Change” which is one of the most successful singles made by a German group in the history of pop was composed with words to be a timeless hymn for peace. Friends and foes listen to his songs and feel connected through his music. Klaus Meine the world star is a bridge builder and an ambassador of peace. Over 25 years he has worked intensively with foundations and charitable organisations. He is founding member of the Nordoff/Robbins foundation, sponsor of the Lower Saxony cancer foundation, and ambassador of the German José Carreras leukaemia foundation. He is committed to the international foundation for neurobionics and UNICEF”.

Wolfgang Fischer, managing director of J. Fischer & Sohn KG adds: “At the Fischer company we are very proud of our two goldsmiths Alena Jakunia Uthe and Nico Starke and are happy that we are able to offer our employees such fertile ground as an outlet for their creativity.”

About the Leibniz-Ring competition
The Leibniz-Ring-Hanover award is presented to personalities or institutes which through exceptional performance have made a name for themselves or through their life’s work have made a special contribution. The award is made in memory of the universal scholar Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716), who came to Hanover in 1676 and until his death was a practising mathematician, politician and diplomat.

Wedding rings – symbols of love

Wedding rings are more than just a symbol of love. In addition to the “Yes, I do!”, this is the most important thing on your wedding day: your wedding ring(s). They symbolize love and faith and are a visible proof of your promise that you gave each other – a clear sign of eternity.

But how do you value your wedding rings? The idealistic value is beyond all question, because wedding rings accompany the bridal couple forever, hopefully. And they remind them time and time again of their most beautiful day in their lives.

As a daily companion on your finger, your wedding ring is exposed to a lot of physical influences. Therefore, you have to realize that high quality and high-class value are exceedingly important aspects when it comes to choosing your rings. Here at Fischer’s, we pay especially great attention to these attributes. With special love to details and traditional craftmanship, we create the one pair of rings, you made up your mind for.

To decide for valuable wedding rings is certainly your best choice – and not only in the long run. Be well advised to take all the time you need to make yourself familiar with the pros and cons regarding precious metals and alloy compositions. Not all combinations are suitable for everyday life!

Just talk to one of our jeweller trade partners. They take extensively time for you and provide qualified advice. Please find here a jeweller partner of Fischer in our store locator.

Platin ist das edle Metall der Wahl, durch das sich die neuen Modelle in der Fischer Classics Kollektion auszeichnen. In seinen Ursprüngen als „platina“ (= kleines Silber) bezeichnet, zählt Platin heute zu den reinsten und seltensten Edelmetallen überhaupt. Kein Wunder also, dass Platin mit seiner ganz besonderen Ausstrahlung viele Verliebte in den Bann zieht.

Fischer greift bei den Platin-Classics außerdem eine spürbare Sehnsucht nach Schlichtheit auf. Mit einer schmalen Ringschiene wird diesem Wunsch entsprochen. In präziser Handarbeit gefasste Brillanten in verschiedenen Anordnungen lassen die Damenmodelle funkeln. Das Ergebnis sind feine und edle Trauringe, die einen ganz besonderen Charme am Finger versprühen.

Das Highlight der kleinen Kollektion findet sich in Model 48-16841-040. Die dezente, mittig liegende Fuge lässt Platz für zwölf Brillanten (gesamt 0,06 ct. TW/IF). Den wortwörtlich letzten Schliff erhält der Ring mit seiner feinen, quermatten Oberfläche. Ein Hingucker!

Von der Natur inspiriert ist das Modell 48-16641-040 mit seiner besonderen Oberflächenstruktur „Korkeiche“. Das Ringpaar aus 950/- Platin ist matt gehalten und der Damenring ist mit einem Brillanten 0,02ct. TW/IF versehen.

Der Verlauf der 17 Brillanten (gesamt 0,085 ct. TW/IF) und die glänzende Oberfläche im Modell 48-17040-045 bringen den Ring aus 950/- Platin am Finger der Braut so richtig zum Leuchten und strahlen wahren Luxus aus.

Beim Modell 48-17230-030 spricht wahre Ästhetik aus dem Design – durch die Anordnung der sechs Brillanten (gesamt 0,12 ct. TW/IF). Schlichte Eleganz pur!
