“IN DYRBERG/KERN LAND, Spring/Summer 2014 is
the most colourful season in a very, very long time.
It’s like we couldn’t get enough of all the yellows,
oranges, pinks and blues.
It’s a regular fruit basket, you just want to take a
bite of”, Design Director Gitte Dyrberg states.
“You’ll find all these amazing and tropical colours on
ribbon tangled bracelets, and in a large collection
of cubic zirconia and crystal jewellery, this season
in bolder, bigger fancy shapes and sizes”.
Gitte Dyrberg & Henning Kern
DESIGNER QUOTES
Don’t judge a book by its cover.
“SWEET LITTLE LIES” is our collection for the next
season, which is a tongue-in-cheek comment on
how we all want to twist the truth and show our best
side, in life as well as in love...
“The collection offers a lot of beautiful jewellery
trends inspired from the past and leading us into the future.”
CHAIN BRACELETS
“The chain bracelet is a classic invention, you might say, but our version
is anything but classic, as we intertwine them with silk or suede ribbons
in the best colours of the season”.
PENDANTS
“The pendant is back in trend. Add it
to a cool chain or throw it on a leather
string - the pendant makes a great
statement”
OPEN BANGLE
“The open C- bangle is a kind of hybrid between
the arm cuff and the bangle - you just slip it on
and you’re ready to go – it’s really cool,” Creative
Director Henning Kern states.
THE WHITE WATCH
“Nothing is more becoming than a white watch on
sun kissed skin”, Gitte says. And this season offers
an array of white watches, in ceramic, with silicone
rubber straps and white faces - really nice”
COINS
“Antique coin jewellery has always been part of our collections and
this season, the classic coin makes a great statement - furthermore
coins bring luck - and who does not want that?” Gitte asks.

THE JEWEL SATELLITES
The Spring/Summer 2014 collection is a tropical basket of sensual jewellery. Each satellite or theme has a
distinct design feature of its own. Some of the features are: PYRAMID: triangles and squares in classy and
edgy designs, sprinkled with crystals. SWING: organic lines, epitomizing the female body in the most
flattering ways. ETHNO: large crystals bridge the ethnic and the urban trend. NEW MODERN: simply, stylish,
easy pieces all women need in their travel jewellery box. ICE: transparent cubic zirconias are the centre
pieces fit for a queen. SPIKE : protect yourself with dagger like pendants in these cool pieces.
DESIGNERS’ LIMITED
The DYRBERG/KERN DESIGNERS’ LIMITED collection is unique designer items characterized by
extravagant proportions. They are produced in very limited quantities only and each item is handcrafted,
hand signed and comes in a luxurious gift box. The DESIGNERS’ LIMITED collection this season is all about
extravagant necklaces and over the top bracelets in larger than life crystal stones as focal points.
THE COLOURS AND MATERIALS
The materials are an eclectic mix of polished steel, sparkling Swarovski crystals, synthetic resin, calf leather
and semiprecious stones. Tropical and rich colours play a main role this spring: shades like lemon yellow,
tangerine, pink, turquoise and blue shades are found on leather bracelets, beads and sparkling cubic
zirconias, it’s like entering a botanical garden of desire. Our beloved neutrals; the whites, the greys,
and the tan shades are there as well, if you want to tone it down. The metal finishes are golden,
silvery and coppery rose gold which seems to have become a fashion stable now.
It’s about mixing the shades with style and generosity - and we feel it’s time to get a little bold here.
Feel up for a beautiful season.
Be honest. How often don’t you play around with the truth?
We twist it and style it to make our life and our world a more beautiful place…
This is a story of the fascinating contrast between the truth and the sweet little lie.
And our story about living, loving and lying….

ROMAN
“Roman” is a celebration of eras gone by, as replicas of antique Italian
coins set in frames moving noisily around and embellishing chunky
golden or silver chains on arm and neck. Even more coins are set in
white crystal frames on cool signet rings, sweet French hoop earrings
and heavy pendants. Modern and classic at the same time.
ICE
ICE refers to the diamond-like transparency of the cubic zirconia which is the centre
of attraction in this line. This season sees an abundance of naturalistic flower motifs,
not to mention an array of colours, not seen in many seasons. Large and smaller
cubic zirconias intertwine on chandelier earrings, cuffs, and luxurious necklaces in
all fancy shapes imaginable. Add cool sparkle and life to the sunny season with ICE.

SPIKE
Sometimes, a girl needs to arm herself to survive the daily challenges.
Spike allows the Amazon in you to protect yourself with dagger-like
pendants on this season’s coolest jewellery. Whether spikes or daggers
sit on earrings or necklaces, be sure to set your mark day or night with
these elegant weapons!

PLATEAU
Smooth surfaces, rounded and sensual organic shapes in oval forms
reflect the female body: Timeless and elegant. Colour mixes of neutral
tones like sandy whites and greyish pastels blend together on cocktail
rings, classic earrings and pendants.
CHAIN REACTION
Chains run through our collection, and this season we embrace everything chained from thin loose chains on which you add your favourite
pendant, to chunky chain bracelets and necklaces, often made in duo
colours and contrasting proportions. We love these simple chain styles
that are anything but simple, but totally wearable.

PYRAMID
Since ancient time, the Pyramid has been a source of mystification,
and this season sees a line of jewellery styles inspired by the Egyptian
architectonic master pieces of former times. Enjoy Pyramid and its
squares and triangles in classic and edgy designs, all sprinkled with
brilliant crystals.

NEW MODERN
We simply chose to name this line of modern styles New Modern – because these styles are
simply what the modern cool woman needs in her jewellery box this season. Silver, gold or
rose gold set with discreet Swarovski crystals are all women’s needs. Think tiny classic earrings
designed for the everyday business attire or the simple stackable ring for the little black dress –
you know what we mean...

ETHNO
We want you to go ethnic in the coming season – but with a twist in
a very urban way. Oval white and grey Swarovski crystals are set
in moulded frames, which reflect rope - uneven and irregular. Look
forward to a 1970’ies inspired sophistication designed for modern
women going places.
SWING
It’s yet again time to swing. Decorate yourself with jewellery designs with flowing,
organic lines that epitomize the female body in the most flattering way. Design
features include thin lines of tiny crystals intertwining flowing lines of gold or silver
emulating rope. Not one straight line is seen in Swing, which embraces chunky
rings, hoop earrings and even a cross pendant necklace.
