These models present the new collection—and the four color types.

Shine in your 
best colours!

Brigitte Aeschbacher’s new «Colour & Style» collection is based on the teachings of Johannes Itten, a Swiss artist and teacher who recognised the connection between personality types and colour harmonies in 1928. A person’s colour pattern is composed of skin, hair and eye colour. The skin undertone is crucial: each colour pattern either has a cool (blue/pink) or warm (gold/orange) undertone. This results in colour groups named after the seasons, which help to find the colours that emphasise natural beauty. The following pages provide an insight into the collection, which is inspired by the diversity of nature and colours.

Mrs Aeschbacher, how did the idea for the Colour & Style collection come about?

I completed the advanced training as a colour and style consultant and incorporated what I learned into the design. The four sub-collections are tailored to the colour types spring, summer, autumn and winter.

 

What role does colour play in your work as a designer?

Colour is central to my work. I use warm or cool tones that suit the individual’s type and emphasise the beauty of their skin, eyes or hair. I choose materials that match specific colour types. The jewellery thus becomes part of the individual’s charisma and visibly underlines their personality.

 

How do you accessorize?

I make sure to wear harmonising colours close to my face in the form of earrings and necklaces. When it comes to rings and watches, however, I compromise and wear accent colors as well.

 

Are there any pieces of jewellery that reflect this theme?

Each piece of jewellery can be assigned to a color type. Customers can choose a colored gemstone and we will design a unique piece of jewellery.

Brigitte Aeschbacher is the co-owner of the manu­facture Frieden and the jewellery and watch shop Bläuer and responsible for the design.

Spring

The roots of the spring collection lie in floral design. The collection features a six-petalled flower motif set with green tsavorites, giving it a playful yet elegant character. The uniform flower motifs and the combination of shiny gold with green gemstones also lend them a spring-like, cheerful aura.

 

The spring type is characterised by warm, light colours. Pastel shades, warm yellow and yellow gold are ideal for this type.

Summer

The summer collection also has its origins in floral design. The collection features a matte rose gold four-leaf flower motif set with small diamonds and a dark yellow sapphire in the centre, symbolising the summer sun. The delicate harmoniously coordinated jewellery captivates with its elegant, feminine design featuring clear shapes and sparkling accents.
 

Cool, muted colours suit the summer type. Blue, pink, lavender and white or rose gold are therefore perfect for this type.

Autumn

The collection is characterised by an expressive and slightly playful design language. The ginkgo leaf, refined with diamonds, symbolises hope and strength. 

 

The jewellery is fluid, elegant and artistic. The matt gold colour creates a warm and noble tone. The soft, natural lines of the jewellery emphasise the outfit and accentuate the shape. The autumn type prefers warm, earthy colours. Brown, orange, yellow gold and bronze are the best colours for this type.

Winter

The winter collection evokes the feeling of cold experienced in the mountains or in the snow. It is modern and elegant in design, with a rhombic cut and clear, geometric lines. 

 

The minimalist yet striking design represents a timeless, elegant look. The blue sapphires combined with shiny white gold have a clear, strong charisma.

 

The winter type prefers cool, strong colours. Black, white and strong cool colours, which are also found in rubies and emeralds, are ideal.
