The Christmas season is one of the most wonderful, atmospheric times of year. By decorating our homes, we conjure up the magic and festive mood of Christmas in a new and fascinating way every year.

The production of jewellery from Meissen porcelain traces back to the beginning of the manufactory in the 18th century: exquisite combinations of precious metals and stones, that have been made to love and made to last using centuries-old expertise and artisanal techniques.

Just in time for the holiday season, BOSS and Meissen present the result of their pioneering collaboration that has brought together the two internationally recognized German brands for the first time.
