JEWELLERY PROFILES - LORENZ BAUMER

PAGE ONE:

Paris-based private jeweller, Lorenz Bäumer, is known to an exclusive elite of jewellery connoisseurs around the world for his highly personal, individualistic jewels.  Trained as an engineer, with an artist mother, he began by making costume jewellery before moving into fine jewellery at his clients’ request.  He works from his luxurious, silk-draped jewel-box of a salon, perched high above the Place Vendome. 

“Very exciting things are happening in jewellery today, as people are so much more aware of jewellery than they were ten years ago, and I think the role of the goldsmith and jeweller is becoming more and more important.

PAGE TWO:

“My clients are looking for jewels with a strong personality.  People are excited about paying a premium for design excellence, and women are not afraid to indulge; they want to have fun with jewels. With so many more newly-wealthy clients looking for exclusivity, I am working on more important, more luxurious pieces.  Generally, I am inspired by three main themes, architecture, poetry and nature, or gardening, and although I don’t work in collections, just creating one piece after another, my jewels always fall into one of these themes.  I change all the time, as I sell a piece, I am thinking about the next one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PAGE THREE:

“I love to work with gold, and there is a huge return to yellow gold at the moment along with a growing trend towards rose gold, so warm against the skin.  There is more interest in figurative pieces, like my whimsical natural hedgehog, or lemon brooch, and colour is playing an increasingly important role.  My first museum exhibition is taking place at the Forbes Gallery, New York City (until June 18^th), and I have written a book to go with it.  Most of all I want to make this world a more beautiful place.  The essence of jewellery is to make people happy. That’s what I’m trying to do.”
