Through an original blend of gold, precious stones, and semi-precious stones, each piece from The Long Kiss tells a story of passion and curiosity. The Long Kiss invites you on a journey where art and poetry merge with the enchantment and wonder of our existence here on Earth.
A Story of Passion
The journey of Stine Kærn Simonsen is imbued with poetry, history, and art. A graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, the founder of The Long Kiss has always stayed close to a field she has cherished since her early childhood. An artist at heart, she gave free rein to a long-standing passion for design when she discovered the world of goldsmithing. It was alongside her partner, a specialist in gold and diamonds, that the idea of creating “something fantastic” emerged. The story of The Long Kiss is, more than an exceptional jewelry brand, an adventure that resonates with the heart.
Harmonious and Balanced Creations
The subtle harmony between 18-carat gold, radiant diamonds, and semi-precious stones is the result of an unlimited imagination, driven by Stine Kærn Simonsen’s determination to create timeless jewels. Through its choice of materials, shapes, and designs, The Long Kiss offers a narrative open to individual interpretation, blending past and future. The creations evoke curiosity for culture, a love of art, and the beauty of nature, establishing a balance between materials and visions to result in jewelry that people love to wear, look at, and pass on. Originality, tinged with humor, marks each piece of The Long Kiss with a philosophy: “Let in the wild in,” a call to embrace life and its wonders.
Three Promising Collections
The young brand of Stine Kærn Simonsen builds on her solid experience in design, giving rise to three collections: Kiss, One, and Classic. While the quality and beauty of the materials and creations are evident at first glance, each piece contains one or more elements that make it unique. A bracelet whose surface evokes the skin of an animal, a gold ring that can be turned according to one’s moods and desires, graphic earrings that evoke the infinity of the cosmos… The jewelry of The Long Kiss translates a discreet and unpretentious originality, for a pleasure that lasts over time.
New creations, currently in preparation, will include new materials such as wood and bone. Stay tuned on the brand’s Instagram account.
