Necklace: Tidbits by Bruna Hauert.Silver 925 oxidised, 76 gemstones, diamonds. 2019.From series: Darwin’s DarlingsUnique piece
. Proof that nature has a sense of humour.
. Tidbits prefer to live in small packs. Wherever they appear, things tend to get a little wild. They love sleepless nights, dazzling courtship rituals and exuberant social gatherings – not always to the delight of the more conservative forest population.
. Worn around the neck, Tidbits happily engage in conversation with friends and strangers alike and are never short of something to say.
.
. Origin: According to unconfirmed sources, Darwin's Darlings are the result of Charles Darwin's secret experiments in breeding meat-producing plants. What is certain, however, is that these cross-species mutations have by now become native here as well and, under the term "Vegan Crossover", are regarded as a welcome addition to the local fauna and flora. Confirmed observations: Bright gemstones give Darwin's Darlings a distinct advantage during courtship, while their black colouring provides perfect camouflage in the undergrowth. With sufficient affection and regular strokes, however, they unexpectedly turn light.
. Behind the scenes: The inspiration for Darwin's Darlings came from an article about synthetic biology. Mice with human ears, pigs carrying human genes – blessing or curse?
. I was looking for a playful way to approach this subject without taking sides. The DaDas – half animal, half fruit – communicate our longing for an improved nature in a humorous and light-hearted way as an entirely new species..

Necklace: 36 Little Emperors by Bruna Hauert.Silver 925 oxidized, jute, sweatwater-pearls. 2019Unique piece(The one and only true story of the 36 vanished pearls from the treasury of the last Emperor of China)
.
. “Puyi, the last Emperor of China, lost us in May 1921 during a game of Mah-Jongg to the Dutch anthropologist Eugène Dubois. Dubois hid us in an unassuming little jute pouch, inside a casket tucked between skull amulets of Gigantopithecus Blacky (an extinct genus of great ape) and various other odds and ends. Thus, under cover of darkness, he smuggled us through a secret tunnel out of the Forbidden City.
. On the journey to Europe, Dubois’ ship was attacked by pirates — and for us began a long voyage through the turbulences of world history.
. How we eventually ended up with Bruna Hauert in Zurich? A long story — and a closely guarded secret. Let’s just say this: we changed owners as others change hats, survived mothballs and multiple relocations, accompanied Amelia Earhart on her flight across the Atlantic, reclined on Freud’s couch, and in 1964 were nearly gifted to a world heavyweight boxing champion.
.
. For the past seven years, we rested in our little pouch in the expansive dressing room of the world-famous opera star Luciano Domingo in Verona. Luciano — heroic tenor, heartbreaker, and, as it later turned out, distantly related to Bruna Hauert. Bruna’s maternal grandmother was the half-sister of the cousin of the former gardener of Luciano’s mother — practically family.
.
. When Luciano drifted away last year with his final aria on his lips, Bruna was invited by his lawyers to choose a keepsake from his estate. She did not select the diamond-studded cufflinks (a mere 35 carats), nor the walking stick with the solid-gold bat’s head and built-in whisky compartment — no! She chose the humble jute pouch containing the 36 inconspicuous pearls and the skull amulets. She chose us — perhaps already envisioning her next jewellery project.
.
. How did Bruna know who we were, where we came from? Some suspect a vision while consulting the yarrow oracle of the I Ching. Others believe she poured molten silver into freshly cut fennel halves and read our origins in the shapes that formed. Or perhaps she discovered the hidden compartment in the lid of the casket and found the receipt bearing the seal of the last Emperor of China.
.
. Be that as it may — though rather delicate in appearance — we proved quite a challenge for Bruna. The considerable weight of world history slumbering within us commanded her respect.
.
. Bruna has promised to keep our origins confidential. And so we now travel rather simply — without dragon robes, throne, or gong. Our entire court consists of Blacky and his entourage. We are merely a few little emperors, setting off incognito on a new adventure, politely silent about our past.
. As true royals do.”.

. The Betty Bossi idea for the Central Park Zoo, New York
. My name is Maier, Dottie Maier. For the theme FICTION I’am bringing the Swiss fictional character Betty Bossi to New York, where I currently live. By using her label I wanted to create jewelry feed for the animals of the Central Park Zoo. Luckily enough, I was able to enthuse Dan Wharton, Central Park Zoo’s director, with my idea. I know Dan as a member of my Kärcher-Club KCNY, which I founded some years ago. Our last (legal!) mission was the kärchering of the elephant Besamemucho. Elephants love high-pressure cleaners!! (We have also kärchered parked cars on 13th street and the New York Opera). Anyway, a gay penguin couple called Silo & Roy live at Dan’s zoo. After a long battle for their own offspring, the zoo psychiatrist finally gave them their own egg and they are now bringing up their charming child Tango. They are all being pampered with the Betty Bossi idea. And so are the six meter long anaconda Houdini and the fruit bat Lindbergh. More will follow. My best friend Bruna Hauert, who lives in Zürich, says that considering the fact that I, Dottie Maier, do not exist, I am creating quite a fuss. Despite our friendship, I do not think it is any of her business..

On April 5th 1769, the Endeavour anchored in Matavai Bay in Tahiti under the command of Captain James Cook. In the excitement of it all, a small group of white ship rats sneaked on land unnoticed and quickly felt at home on this fertile island. Their countless offspring soon after crowned many a chieftain’s noble head and later went down in history as the ermines of the South Seas.
Made for the thematic exhibition in the South Seas.
