MATERIALS USED

Gold Thread

The gold thread consists of a galvanically gold-plated narrow metal strip that is wrapped around a core made of textile thread. In the technical language this material is called "Leonische Ware"

Gold
The use of gold has a very long tradition in many cultures. In dark temples or candlelit churches, the aura of the gold and the reflection of the light give a very special - even mystical - atmosphere.
Thanks to its warm glow, gold was not only a symbol of light and sun centuries ago, but also of wealth. In contrast to other metals, gold does not corrode and thus stands for durability and eternal value.

 

Silver Thread

The silver thread consists of a galvanically silver-plated narrow metal strip that is wrapped around a core made of textile thread. In the technical language this material is called “Leonische Ware”.
Tarnish protection prevents the silver thread from oxidizing.

 

Silver

Silver is a very soft, elastic, easily malleable, white shimmering metal. Hence the symbolism which ascribes "flowing feelings", purity and purification of the soul to the precious metal.
The shimmer of the silver is reminiscent of the gentle shimmer of the moon or the stars on the surface of the sea - an almost hypnotic effect.

​

Brilliant
A brilliant is a diamond with a special cut that consists of at least 57 facets. The terms “diamond” and “brilliant” are therefore often incorrectly used synonymously. Diamonds (rough diamonds) are found in nature; if they are faceted in brilliant cut, they are called brilliant. The cut gives the diamond "sparkle", "brilliance" and "fire".

The diamond is the hardest natural substance. It is the symbol of purity, clarity and resilience.


Only high-quality fine fabrics made of pure silk, silk popellin or finely woven cotton are used for the murals and the ring pads.

 

The picture frames are made of solid wood.
