Twenty years ago, Oliver Rheinfrank and Dirk Holzfuss established a new address for antique jewellery in Berlin – at a time when historic pieces of jewellery were not yet in demand. Nonetheless, their passion and sensitive feeling for classic elegance enabled them to interpret antique jewellery anew, not as objects for a museum, but as stylish accompaniments – vibrant personalities with a history. Lo and behold, antique jewellery became modern, chic, stylish. Today it is sought after particularly by the young and internationally design-conscious.
