Men’s jewellery from MEISSEN – collectors’ pieces for connoisseurs of exquisite craftsmanship
-
With its collection of elegant men’s jewellery, MEISSEN is continuing a tradition of design and craftsmanship that reaches back all the way to the 18th century. Whereas, at that time, the jewellery was gifted as gallantries within the Saxon court, today the collection caters to the distinguished taste of the modern gentleman – a man of the world. After all, be it a signet ring, cufflinks or an effortless leather bracelet, the true expert reveals himself – and always has – through subtle details and his choice of accessories. Exquisite materials such as silver, leather and porcelain are combined in these pieces to create timeless designs and striking accents of the highest quality by artisans drawing upon more than 300 years of expertise.
Iconic motifs such as the “Ming dragon” or Crossed Swords as well as personalised monograms, painted by hand on gleaming white Meissen porcelain, provide the perfect finishing touch for a confident, elegant look. Embellished en détail by skilled craftsmen using the manufactory’s proprietary porcelain paints and precious metals, the hand-painting makes each piece of jewellery one of a kind and a distinctive addition to any sophisticated wardrobe. At the same time, it is the symbolic power of the individual motifs that appeals to both connoisseurs and businessmen alike.
True connoisseurs reveal themselves in the details, such as their choice of distinguished men’s jewellery from MEISSEN – a tradition that dates back more than 300 years.

The Meissen "Ming dragon” is one of the manufactory’s most iconic motifs and part of a tradition that dates back centuries. The dragon experienced its first golden age as a decorative motif on porcelain during the Ming Dynasty in China. In Chinese mythology, the dragon symbolises not only the spirit of change, but also the rhythm of nature and existential wisdom. It represents the sun, the light and the male power of yang. Chinese motifs served as the inspiration for Meissen’s "Ming dragon”, which shines with brilliant symbolic power on Meissen’s men’s jewellery.
The Meissen signet – the Crossed Swords – has adorned the Manufactory’s porcelain for nearly 300 years. It is Europe’s oldest trademark and has always stood for the unparalleled craftsmanship and quality of Meissen porcelain. The impetus for its design was provided by Johann Melchior Steinbrück, the manufactory’s first inspector, on 8 November 1722 in a letter in which he encouraged Meissen to use an element from the Saxon coat of arms for its trademark. This moment marked the birth of the Crossed Swords, which was finally registered with the patent and trademark office in 1875. Whether in bold platinum or classically elegant in the manufactory’s own signature cobalt blue, the Crossed Swords of the Meissen men’s jewellery collection attest to its wearer’s appreciation for centuries-old tradition and the authenticity of exquisite craftsmanship.
