Tanja Friedrichs

| 2001–2006 | Studied jewelry and product design at the University of Applied Sciences, Düsseldorf |
| 2006 | Founded her atelier in Duisburg |
To create her ring collections with matching earrings Tanja Friedrichs uses gallery wire, an ornamental material used in classical goldsmithing. This is why her pieces, despite the conceptual clarity of their designs, look like “pure adornment”, as she calls it. Whether white or black, the mirror-polished surfaces of each tiny ball sparkle, shine and dance along with their wearer’s movements. Pieces such as the Loope, LA and Quiril rings have been inspired by this graduate designer’s childhood or everyday experiences. They are available in 925 silver, whitened or blackened, as well as in gold. Tanja Friedrichs’s works have been honored with several prizes and awards and are represented in leading collections.
