Radiance Beyond Boundaries. mandana Jewellery with a Powerful Statement and… an Award to Match
A project, a manifesto, a collection – All Gens is the new collection by mandana Jewellery built around a clear statement and has recently won the prestigious German Design Award in Gold.
“All genders. All generations.” A neo-luxury aesthetic goes hand in hand with an ethical approach to jewellery production. The clean, minimalist lines of All Gens create the perfect setting for the dazzling brilliance of lab-grown diamonds by Nevermined. We will soon meet mandana at the INHORGENTA trade fair. The brand is arriving in Munich crowned with laurels – the All Gens collection has recently won the prestigious German Design Award.
Frankfurt, 6 February 2026. In a grand hall, an elegant, long-haired blonde steps onto the stage. From the hands of the hosts, she receives a GOLD statuette of the German Design Award. Christine Marhofer will remember this moment for a long time. It is a triumph of her vision, creativity and consistency. The German Design Award in the Excellent Product Design Luxury Goods category for the All Gens collection marks a milestone in the history of her independent brand – mandana Jewellery.
Beauty from Every Perspective
“Convincing in concept, design, and execution—an impressive reference for outstanding excellence in the luxury segment” – this is how the jury justified granting the award to the All Gens collection by mandana. Let’s break this success down into its key elements. The collection’s elegance and modernity are rooted in clean, precise lines. Paperclip chains, an octagon motif, and refined design details such as double-sided set diamonds, all crafted in 18-carat recycled gold. The compositions are rhythmic, following the movement of the body. But good design is also about ideas and message. “We wanted to create jewellery that connects rather than constrains and shows beauty from every perspective. For all generations and all genders,” emphasises Christine Marhofer. In the world of mandana, luxury is meant to be inclusive, dissolving divisions. All Gens is a collection that integrates and invites. After all, the brilliance of diamonds has neither gender nor age.
All Gens Fits… All Styles
All Gens is the most radical and distinctive line in the mandana Jewellery portfolio, yet a similar spirit – both in design and philosophy – is visible across the brand’s other creations. I recently had the pleasure of trying on the Reflect collection (the results here!). My observation? This is jewellery that styles itself with ease and pleasure. mandana builds gleaming bridges between radically different aesthetics. It is a kind of brilliance that attracts maximalists and glamour lovers (yours truly!), yet feels equally at home with streetwear, refined vintage fashion or avant-garde black. Both All Gens and the Reflect collection can be worn in single-piece looks or combined into striking freestyle stacking sets. “Free” is the key word here – because isn’t All Gens, at its core, jewellery about freedom and individuality?
The Luxury of the Future
mandana Jewellery is part of a visionary and comprehensive concept created by Christine Marhofer. Her second “child” is Nevermined – a brand specialising in lab-grown diamonds. I previously wrote in detail about the story of this remarkable project from Essen, Germany. Christine consistently pursues her dream of creating jewellery backed by an ethical, environmentally responsible foundation. Recycled gold, diamonds grown in conditions safe for both nature and people, packaging made from alternative materials – at mandana and Nevermined, every element of the process is thoughtful and responsible. This is the luxury of the future.
The award-winning All Gens collection, along with other lines from the mandana Jewellery portfolio, will be on display together with Nevermined Diamonds at INHORGENTA MUNICH (Hall B2, Stand 315) from 20 to 23 February.
