According to Schaefer, a jewel cannot be defined unless it is in contact with the skin. The ring on your finger is a sign of belonging, the expression of a particular intimacy or a memory, a gift or a union. For Schaefer, excellence in a ring means being able to master all the complexities and difficulties involved in creating and producing it. By harmonizing size and design, volume and weight, matter and color, everything must merge to create a perfect balance. Elements such as the circle, light and transformation are at the basis of the artist’s work and cleverly combining titanium and diamonds, gold and rust, white gold and niello, Schaefer, as an ardent alchemist, creates elegant wearable works with a strong and unmistakable character.
