THE visionary

Yellow sapphire high jewellery

Born in 1849, Bertha Benz married Carl Benz, the inventor of the automobile. While Karl was a genius engineer, it was Bertha who was the visionary. She saw her husband’s automobile potential more clearly. The yellow sapphire ring echo’s these strong traits. The yellow sapphire symbolizes the freedom to interpret the world through our vision & thoughts without the fear of breaking social barriers. In a time when “car” was not even a word, one woman’s vision challenged the status quo. To prove to the world that her husband’s invention was the future of mobility, Bertha went on the first long-distance journey from Mannheim to Pforzheim.

THE visionary

DESIGN

Bertha Benz shaped the story of Mercedes right from the very start. Bertha found a solution to every difficulty on her journey from Mannheim to Pforzheim. The distinctive sharp intertwining shanks of the ring are designed to represent that Bertha’s journey wasn’t straightforward; her path was filled with several problems. However, Bertha did ultimately gain success by demonstrating her significant technical capabilities on this journey.The yellow sapphire which emanates and radiates the energy to fulfil dream is a perfect expression of Bertha Benz’s drive and ambition to achieve her dream of not just driving a car but driving a whole industry.

INSPIRATION

It was Bertha’s financial, emotional and intellectual support that helped build the first automobile. She contributed to the design of the Motorwagen by adding wire insulation and inventing the world’s first leather brake pads to supplement the wooden brakes when they failed. The drive was a key event in the technical development of the automobile.Bertha died at age 70, but her legacy remains to this day. A legacy which we wanted to relive through this design in the hope to empower women to dare to dream, believe and achieve anything they’re passionate about.
