Johannesburg-born Michael Berger loves transforming graceful hands into eye-catching stages. Appropriately, his hand-made collections feature kinetic jewellery pieces that move and spin on the wearer’s hand.
Berger views jewellery not solely as adornment or a means of communicating the wearer’s affluence. “There is undoubtedly a certain playfulness involved if you design kinetic jewellery,” explains the designer, who established his studio in Düsseldorf, Germany in 1999.
