ABOUT

  • Denise J. Reytan is a Berlin-based jewellery designer and artist. She’s been creating jewellery as well as installations and art objects for the past 12 years.

  • Reytan´s work is an exploration in contrasts –
    between materials, values, colours and personal
    content. She is questioning conventional
    boundaries and is interested in the transformation
    of precious into non-precious and vice versa.
    But the question is also one about the ideal and
    intrinsic value of objects and their importance.

  • Reytan’s jewellery making is like material painting. She’s creating wearable collages in a very picturesque way by combining various materials in a wide range of shining colors: for instance, precious gemstones, textiles, silicone and her own casted plastic objects. Thereby, Reytan’s pieces become unique compositions that all have a story to tell. They become »poems on the body« made with a great love for detail and a special sense for the statement the pieces carry over. The T1MEPEACE bracelet looks like a watch, yet, it reminds you to enjoy life and to forget about time.
  • All jewellery is handmade and manufactured in Berlin.
