Another striking collection from the genius mind of designer Jacqueline Rabun, Georg Jensen Mercy jewellery wraps elegantly around the body in crisp stainless steel and warm 18 carat gold. The organic shapes of the rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings portray a message of compassion, reminding us to embrace the unknown and show love and empathy to the people around us.
Anyone remotely familiar with the Georg Jensen jewellery brand will have come across a piece of sterling silver jewellery designed by Jacquelin Rabun. The American designer is renowned for creating masterpieces in silver and gold that narrate the stories of personal relationships. The Georg Jensen Reflect collection for example uses organically-shaped links to encourage the wearer to reveal their own bespoke beauty and personality while the Georg Jensen Offspring jewellery collection uses classic shapes fused together to celebrate the power of love and the bonds between family, friends and loved ones. It is because of this that so many of the Georg Jensen jewellery collections designed by Jacqueline Rabun are chosen as gifts for occasions like Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and anniversaries.
“My work is informed by the human experience. I often explore the beauty of birth, love and transformation when I am creating and I work with natural fluid forms that compliment the body." – Jacqueline Rabun
For the Georg Jensen Mercy jewellery collection, Jacqueline wanted to create a series of designs that would serve as an emotional reminder to always be compassionate, to show mercy to yourself and to others. The designs are distinctively organic in their shape, wrapping softly around the body for a sensual yet sophisticated look. Jacqueline Rabun also explains that each piece of Georg Jensen Mercy jewellery symbolises the way life transforms and changes, whether we want it to or not. The smooth polished curves represent the flow of time and how these unexpected twists might change us as a person. Meanwhile, the gap in the middle of each Georg Jensen Mercy ring, pendant, bangle or earring symbolises the present, and how this moment in time should be used to embrace the unknown and the future.
“The natural shapes and curves of the body are essential to everything I design. It is important that each piece compliments the human form and becomes an extension of the body and spirit of the wearer, like a talisman providing strength, confidence and protection”. – Jacqueline Rabun
The sentimental imagery that Jacqueline Rabun sought to achieve is certainly evident in the entire Georg Jensen Mercy jewellery collection. Take the Georg Jensen Mercy rings as example and admire how the elegant, sensuous sterling silver twists beautifully around the finger as if it has its own, free-spirited personality. For a more statement finish, the Georg Jensen Mercy Double ring creates the illusion that you are wearing two rings when in fact just one band of silver wraps smoothly around your fingers, creating a bold, experimental piece of designer jewellery.
Another favourite of ours in the Georg Jensen Mercy jewellery collection is the range of Mercy earrings. The Georg Jensen Mercy Long Drop earrings in particular are enchanting, formed from one organically flowing strand of sterling silver of 18 carat yellow gold which falls like water from the ear lobes. The uneven strands are inspired by the twists and turns experienced in life and form a design that can effortlessly transition from day to night.
