Verena Schreppel’s Visionary Jewelry Designs

Verena Schreppel specializes in jewelry and product design with a poetic, conceptual approach and a fine sense for structures. She began the development of her unique jewelry designs during her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Hamburg in the Studio of Glen Oliver Löw and at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid at the faculty of fine arts. Her unique aesthetic and her talent for innovative design can be seen in her latest jewelry collections.

Ripprings is a collection of silver rings, each one cast from a one-off piece of stitched fabric. Leaving the white cast skin of the silver perfects the transposition and causes confusion. Through wear the cast skin changes slightly giving it an individual shining silver patina.

The Shot collection shows the counter points of beauty and transience, life and death. The bullet hole as a trace in fine metal draws the balance and the discrepancy of these two poles. This design also brings about the question of unequal circumstances; the basic principle of jewelry, the status symbol, that is elevating but at the same time humiliating.

Zopf is a collection of fine braided jewelry in white or dark silver cast or gold, which slightly wears to an individual patina.

The Hercules Knot collection was inspired by the strength of a Hercules Knot itself. Fascinated by the power of the form and the infinity of connection found in the ancient Greeks’ Hercules Knot Verena designed a necklace, belt and bracelet that provide this same power to its owner. All parts of the collection are made of textile covered tubes and 925 sterling silver. The knot in the tubes is used to change size by pulling or loosening. The stiffness of the material keeps the form and regulates the size for its owner. The acute silver angle of the belt can be opened by a bayonet nut connector.

The Take and Give project are rings and studs made of ebony, maple wood, gold plated silver and bills. The raw shape of the continents and the material speaks for itself, reflecting the exchange; back then and today.
