Founded in 1968 in Pforzheim, Germany, by goldsmith and designer Jörg Heinz, the eponymous fine jewelry house is renowned for revolutionizing the way necklaces are worn. Originally established as a studio for pearl jewelry, the brand shifted its trajectory in 1974 when Heinz invented the modern interchangeable jewelry clasp. This innovation transformed the clasp from a hidden, purely functional necessity at the nape of the neck into a central, decorative element of the jewelry itself.
