In 1989 Jane Kønig graduated from the Danish Design Academy as a clothing designer with accessories as an important part of her expression. Since then, she has been designing jewelry and accessories and is now working full time as a goldsmith. Jane’s style is whimsical, adventurous and rockish at one and the same time. She’s freely mixing old, antique objects such as roses made of chorale, antique precious stones, tortoise shell and ivory and other unique stuff with modern materials and design and thus creates unexpected meetings. Significant of her style is also the clash between everyday objects and precious materials, badges with strong symbols executed in precious metal and diamonds, or series of bone and horn e.g. Jane gets her inspiration on her numerous travels, where she also finds local materials and objects, purchase foreign strange matter and stuff in order to unity them with her own Scandinavian tradition later on. Jane founded her own company in 1986, and have since then made a new bijouterie and silver collection 2 times a year (spring and autumn). Apart from this she makes a collection twice a year with precious metal and stones. Jane Kønig has exhibited her work at solo exhibitions in Øksnehallen and at The National Museum of Denmark and at group exhibitions in Hyperhall at Øksnehallen, at the spring exhibition in Charlottenborg among mane other places. Her jewelry designs have also been utilized in fashion shows and have been displayed in numerous magazines and newspapers throughout the world.
