The Rosselini® line is designed by Carola Hiersemann-Eckrodt and handmade in her Stuttgart, Germany workshop. It is trademarked under the name Coeur de Lion in Europe.

That the collections have been made in Germany for the past 25 years, with no compromise about the quality of the craftsmanship, sets the tone of what Rosselini®/Coeur de Lion® stands for, especially in today's environment.

The apparent simplicity, the seemingly obvious crispness of the line, its colors, its texture...nothing is left to chance. Rosselini®/Coeur de Lion® fuses clean designs, old-world craftsmanship, high technology and above all, the finest materials obtainable, to achieve its very distinctive look.

Consultant for Swarovski®, for which she regularly contributes as a free-lance designer, Carola uses Swarovski® crystals exclusively for her own collections. It is not rare that she introduces new Swarovski® shapes for a limited time, before anyone else. The stainless steel and aluminum parts she favors as her metal of choice are expensively treated through eloxation and other high-tech methods, and thickly plated in silver, rhodium and 24-karat gold to last a lifetime. The acrylic parts she designs and special order through master artisans, add a rich dimension to her contemporary creative approach. She too has a weakness for Venetian glass, and particularly appreciates artisans who take some risks in their work: you will not find too many "main stream" glass beads in Rosselini®/Coeur de Lion® . And while she excels through geometrical designs, Carola is not against bringing a few more romantic pieces within each collection.

The result is a very upscale line designed for distinctive women who have a classic taste with an attitude©.

Konplott/Miranda Konstantinidou®

Over many years, Miranda Konstantinidou® has set more worldwide trends in fashion jewelry than any other designer. She was honored for her jewelry creations (“Uncompromising, trendsetting”) by being the first non-French person to receive first prize from the French fashion press in 1991, from a jury including Elle, Vogue and Marie-Claire among others. Born is Greece, Miranda grew up in Germany and studied in Tier and Bologna.

In 1986, she founded Konplott/Miranda Konstantinidou® which she runs to this day with great enthusiasm: “it is my aim to ornament every woman in every situation” says Konstantinidou who rejects thinking in terms of target groups or ideal of beauty. Instead, she strives to highlight in her work every woman’s individual beauty. Her maxim is to create jewelry which is free of material limitations, and the resulting joyfully unusual combinations of colors and materials as well as the idiosyncratic production methods have time and again caused worldwide excitement for over 20 years. Every piece is carefully handmade according to Miranda’s designs – in fact, you can watch Miranda in action on many Youtube clips - and produced in exclusive series.
