Bernd Munsteiner:
Bernd Munsteiner transformed gemstone cutting. Before Bernd, colored gemstones were cut into traditional round, oval, square and rectangular shapes that had no sculptural component other than those dictated by the shape of the raw materials.
Bernd changed everything. His vision was to create transparent gemstone sculpture by playing with light and reflection in an entirely new way. He created the Fantasy Cut and negative cutting. With negative cutting reflective facets are cut into the stone rather than on its surface. The result is a gemstone with shifting, multiple reflections of sculptural shapes suspended within its transparent interior.
Bernd became known as the “Picasso of Gemstones” with his work in museums and private collections around the world. One his master works is the Dom Pedro Aquamarine, one of the major treasures of the Smithsonian Gem Collection in Washington DC.
Björn Weckströn:
Rough matt surfaces, uncut semi-precious stones and asymmetrical forms are typical to his massive golden jewelry. Inspiration comes often from nature. When working in silver, Weckström can for example portray the snowy, Finnish winter landscape with its frozen lakes. Weckström considers jewelry as an art form and his designs as miniature sculptures.
In 1963 Björn Weckström started co-operation with jewelry manufacturer Kruunu-Koru Oy (later Lapponia Jewelry) and its owner Pekka Anttila. Weckström became company’s designer and art director. In 1965 Weckström took part in the International Jewelry Contest in Rio de Janeiro, where his yellowgold and tourmaline necklace “Flowering wall” won the Grand Prix. Through this distinguished award, the company received worldwide recognition, launching Lapponia’s international success. His designs have been in continuous production with Lapponia ever since.
Probably the best-known piece of Weckström’s jewelry is necklace Planetoid Valleys which Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) wore in George Lucas’ film Star Wars in 1977. Necklace was designed for Lapponia in 1969.
Björn Weckström was the first designer who radically combined silver and acrylic in jewelry. Especially silver-acrylic ring Petrified lake achieved international attention when Yoko Ono was filmed wearing it on the Dick Cavett Show in 1975
More than 60 exhibitions in Europe, USA, Australia and Asia in 1963–2016
Björn Weckström is said to be one of the most charismatic and cosmopolitan personalities of the Finnish art world. Nowadays Björn Weckström lives in Espoo, Finland, but travels to Italy several times a year. He has an atelier both in Finland and in Italy. Bazar publishers has published Weckström’s autobiography Mitt liv som Björn in 2018.
