That Ute Eitzenhöfer’s jewellery is related to contemporary
phenomena is beyond any doubt. The longevity of precious metals
and stones is juxtaposed with the rapid development of social
realities—or with our increasingly overwhelmed perception of
them. In particular, our power and powerlessness in dealing
with meanwhile highly complex communication are a source of
inspiration for her works. The seemingly timeless aesthetics
of the minimalist-looking pieces of jewellery nevertheless open
up to a variety of perspectives: when worn, they encourage us
as wearers or beholders to engage in dialogue and bring about an
immediate exchange.
