The high response to the 2012 Cat­a­logue Launch ques­tion­naire was very grat­i­fy­ing: we were delight­ed not only by the great enthu­si­asm but also by the con­struc­tive criticism.

Thank you for the large num­ber of returns, which will enable us to plan future events even bet­ter and opti­mize them if necessary.

The win­ners of the draw for three sets of 100 € jew­ellery were:

INSPIRED BY RALF BAUER

The „Inspired by Ralf Bauer“ cat­e­go­ry is very pop­u­lar. Are there any new pieces that have been cre­at­ed in coop­er­a­tion with the actor and declared Asia enthu­si­ast, Ralf Bauer?

Inspired by Ralf Bauer — page 72

J. E.: We’ve devel­oped a new range of bracelets appro­pri­ate­ly enti­tled „MOVE“ for the Ralf Bauer collection.

It works real­ly sim­ply and is made up of a plain leather bracelet with sim­ple clasp to which these ele­ments may be attached.

One of the ele­ments is adorned with the knot motif that is very fre­quent in Asian symbolism.

We have tak­en up an addi­tion­al sug­ges­tion for the hand-made pen­dant. There is a small clip loop so that the pen­dant may also be worn on a chain. The loop also goes with some oth­er pendants.

We have also returned to the mate­r­i­al of amber and slight­ly mod­i­fied the bracelet.

POWER

Cat­e­go­ry Pow­er — chain 2044

Long and mixed chains are the absolute trend. The asym­met­ri­cal Chain 2044 in the Pow­er cat­e­go­ry suc­cess­ful­ly takes up the style… 

J. E.: Yes! This chain is one of my favourite pieces! On the one hand, it is lav­ish but, on the oth­er, it is also light and pleas­ant to wear. Its spe­cial fea­ture is that we mixed dif­fer­ent chains togeth­er. They are joined on the side by two tri­an­gu­lar ele­ments. The entire chain pos­sess­es an asym­met­ri­cal design. Match­ing ear­rings that also take up the heart shape are also available.

Thank you, Janine, speak to you in Part 4.

A very spe­cial meet­ing of ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors took place last weekend. 

Diana Feli­ciano

The train­ing sem­i­nar was attend­ed by some of our top dis­trib­u­tors and fea­tured a Pow­er­Point pre­sen­ta­tion by Puer­to Rican dis­trib­u­tor Diana Feli­ciano which was trans­mit­ted live from Puer­to Rico to Kirch­heim via Skype! This is the first time in the his­to­ry of ENERGETIX sem­i­nars that Skype has been used in this way. 

Pow­er­Point pre­sen­ta­tion trans­mit­ted via Skype

Ulrich Lang and Sjaak Janssen pro­vid­ed simul­ta­ne­ous trans­la­tion of the Eng­lish and sup­ple­ment­ed the pre­sen­ta­tion with addi­tion­al use­ful advice.
The 100 or so dis­trib­u­tors were extreme­ly enthu­si­as­tic – last but not least because Diana Feli­ciano was mag­nif­i­cent­ly suc­cess­ful in com­mu­ni­cat­ing all her ener­gy to her audi­ence in Ger­many. A com­pelling and tech­ni­cal­ly demand­ing pre­sen­ta­tion that will cer­tain­ly not be the last of its kind! 

The Skype pre­sen­ta­tion was, of course, only one ele­ment of the mul­ti­fac­eted three-day sem­i­nar. Thank you to the orga­niz­ing team for a suc­cess­ful weekend!

CLASSIC

Janine, let’s look at the Clas­sic cat­e­go­ry: the pen­dant 2068 and match­ing ear­rings 2142P are par­tic­u­lar­ly outstanding.

Pen­dant ele­ment (2068) and soli­taire (2079) in the Clas­sic range on cord (1779)

J. E.: Yes, we devel­oped a frame to sur­round the soli­taire pen­dant for this piece in the Soli­taire series. The frame puts me a lit­tle in mind of a rose tree. The sug­ges­tion of thorns on the edge and the ten­drils in the cen­tre. It was cre­at­ed by our design­er, Robin Ash­by, and you could think that the Tudor rose was his inspi­ra­tion.  The Tudor rose rep­re­sents England.

BASIC

Let’s talk about the Basic cat­e­go­ry: what is char­ac­ter­is­tic for the jew­ellery in this easy-to-com­bine category?

J. E.: The Basic cat­e­go­ry stands for sim­ple jew­ellery that also does­n’t have to be expensive.

New jew­ellery in the Basic Range

We have a jew­ellery set here that we designed specif­i­cal­ly to sat­is­fy these require­ments. It is small, sim­ple, and, with its sparkling Swarovs­ki crys­tal, it goes with every­thing. Here, the ENERGETIX heart shape, which is very typ­i­cal for the style used in ENERGETIX jew­ellery, was tak­en up. The crys­tal is even set in three very fil­i­gree prongs.

The real­ly well done mod­el pic­tures stand out in the cat­a­logue. Where were the atmos­pher­ic pho­tos for the Basic cat­e­go­ry taken?

J. E.: The pho­tos for the Basic cat­e­go­ry were shot in the TRIBECA dis­trict of New York. The pho­to with the umbrel­la was, for exam­ple, tak­en oppo­site Hugh Jack­man’s café, at the „Laugh­ing Man“. That’s where I had the best cof­fee that I’ve had in a long time.

Thank you, Janine, speak to you in Part 3.

The Bin­gen event on 27–28 Sep­tem­ber 2012 was a great suc­cess. All the par­tic­i­pants found the yoga lessons con­duct­ed by self-con­fessed yogi Ralf Bauer very relax­ing and grat­i­fy­ing, both the sun salu­ta­tion and the bal­ance train­ing. The dis­trib­u­tors‘ enthu­si­asm knew no bounds when Ralf Bauer agreed to all requests to sign the green yoga mats spe­cial­ly designed for the event by ENERGETIX Bingen.

The next day was devot­ed to train­ing with the Man­age­ment Com­mit­tee and jew­ellery design­er Janine Eisen­hauer, togeth­er with prac­ti­cal tips from Meike Bur­dorf and
Jean­nette Bal van Schijndel.

Here are the first photos.

Part ¹⁄₅

Mrs. Eisen­hauer, New York City was cho­sen as the loca­tion for the pho­tos for the new cat­a­logue. The pho­to shoot­ing in the Big Apple was prob­a­bly a highlight?

J. E.: Yes, New York as the shoot­ing loca­tion was incred­i­bly excit­ing, mul­ti­fac­eted and stim­u­lat­ing. We vis­it­ed many dif­fer­ent dis­tricts for the cat­a­logue and gained many impres­sions. From the rooftops in Mid­town very near the Empire State Build­ing to the indus­tri­al dis­trict on the banks of the East Riv­er under Brook­lyn Bridge. And, of course, on Brook­lyn Bridge itself which fea­tures in the back­ground on the new cov­er. Some­times we had to work at two or three dif­fer­ent loca­tions on a sin­gle day. A mobile home then became the back­stage area for our styling, hair and make-up as well as the pro­duc­tion office and can­teen. Every­thing in the small­est of spaces with up to 20 peo­ple work­ing on the project on a sin­gle pro­duc­tion day. So it was every­thing but a lux­u­ry hol­i­day, but it was fun and the atmos­phere was creative.

A glance at the con­tents reveals that ENERGETIX has – although the sequence has changed slight­ly – remained true its categories. 

J. E.: That’s right, every cat­e­go­ry rep­re­sents its own direc­tion, from fash­ion­able to sim­ple pieces of jew­ellery and from ele­gant to sporty designs.

Well, let’s talk about the most impor­tant new aspects in the new indi­vid­ual categories!

SYMBOLIC

Sym­bol­ic is pleas­ant­ly dif­fer­ent. Where did the inspi­ra­tion for these imag­i­na­tive pieces of jew­ellery come from?

J. E.: The Sym­bol­ic cat­e­go­ry was inspired by many dif­fer­ent things, includ­ing nature and tech­nol­o­gy and even entire­ly abstract and mod­ern shapes.

SYMBOLIC: Chain sys­tem with spring ring and clip loop

This new design pos­sess­es both abstract and Asian influ­ences, the for­mer even being inspired by a paint­ing by Kandin­sky. The pen­dant may be worn with a chain of pearls from the ENERGETIX range of chains or with a clip loop or sim­ply with a string. There are match­ing ear studs and ring tops and a bracelet in the same pearl colours.

How did you get the idea to shape a piece of jew­ellery in the shape of a hummingbird? 

J. E.: We are always being asked to real­ize ani­mal motifs, which is why they were essen­tial to this collection.

SYMBOLIC : Lit­tle hum­ming­birds and flowers

The final result was achieved through many inter­me­di­ate stages. The end prod­uct is a coop­er­a­tion with the design­er, Robin Ash­by, who cre­at­ed the vir­tu­al hum­ming­bird con­tours for us in a CAD pro­gramme. Two small match­ing hum­ming­bird ear studs and match­ing ear studs with the flow­ers that are also found on the hum­ming­bird’s branch were cre­at­ed to accom­pa­ny this piece.

Every­thing is rep­re­sent­ed from nature to tech­nol­o­gy … ENERGETIX is so to speak con­quer­ing space? 

SYMBOLIC: Small robots, rock­ets and planets

J. E.: Well, we did use the work­ing title, „Out of Space“, here. The motifs are very wit­ty and cute, small robots, rock­ets and plan­ets. Real­ized here as lit­tle charms.
As a high­light, we added a large robot that pos­sess­es a turn­ing loop so that it may be com­bined in many ways with clip loops and chains: lav­ish­ly worked with Swarovs­ki crys­tals and cold enamel.

SYMBOLIC: Robot with var­i­ous details

Thank you, Mrs. Eisen­hauer, until the next and sec­ond part.

The 19 Sep­tem­ber 2012 was the long-await­ed day when not only top dis­trib­u­tors, Inge Møller-Nielsen, Renée Piguet, Ciselle Elgers & Rick Wes­sels, Car­men & Ernst Maas, Pia & Fred Petersen and Ruth & Klaus Kris­tensen, received their new cars from the ENERGETIXDRIVE pro­gramme but also Anja Schuch, who is a mem­ber of the STARCLUB.

The brand-new dream car was hand­ed over to Anja Schuch, Inter­na­tion­al Mar­ket­ing Direc­tor, in Bin­gen by Dr K.-P. Thiel, Mem­ber of the Exec­u­tive Board and COO.

„I would real­ly like to thank you for this award, it would­n’t have been pos­si­ble with­out you. You have cre­at­ed and built up a com­pa­ny for which peo­ple are able to work with great joy, warmth and deep com­mit­ment. And when I speak of Ener­getix, I am talk­ing about us. Some­thing as big as this can only be cre­at­ed when a bond is cre­at­ed between us all.“

The ENERGETIXDRIVE part­ner pro­gramme is avail­able to all dis­trib­u­tors: ENERGETIX Bin­gen sub­sidis­es the leas­ing pay­ments for the cars by up to 100%, in addi­tion to all the ben­e­fits of the mar­ket­ing plan. Dis­trib­u­tors should not ignore this opportunity! 

ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors can find more infor­ma­tion about the ENERGETIXDRIVE pro­gramme in the down­load sec­tion of the man­age­ment system.

We wish all dis­trib­u­tors lots of fun with their ENERGETIXDRIVE dream cars!

The Cat­a­logue Launch week­end from 31 August to 2 Sep­tem­ber 2012 was real­ly some­thing. Three days full of action, attrac­tion, fun and entertainment.

The STARCLUB gets togeth­er in Mainz

Fri­day was entire­ly ded­i­cat­ed to the stars: the STARCLUB met for the one-to-one inter­view train­ing head­ed by Klaus Pertl and for all par­tic­i­pants to swap experiences.

On Sat­ur­day, Michael Rossié, com­mu­ni­ca­tions and speak­ing train­er, „coached“ the ENERGETIX dis­trib­u­tors under the mot­to, „Become who you are!“ This was fol­lowed by the excit­ed­ly await­ed pre­sen­ta­tion of the new jew­ellery col­lec­tion: the stage show was a high-ener­gy mix of infor­ma­tion and enter­tain­ment. Each cat­e­go­ry was under­lined by aes­thet­ic acro­bat­ic per­for­mances, music and impres­sions from New York – the place where the pho­tos were shot.

A spe­cial sur­prise await­ed dis­trib­u­tors at the pre­sen­ta­tion of the new sportEX sil­i­con bracelets because none oth­er than swim­ming leg­end, Franziska van Alm­sick, took the stage. The like­able sports per­son­al­i­ty is the new face for the sporty col­lec­tion of colour­ful bracelets with three mag­nets inte­grat­ed in a water­proof encasing.

The event was crowned by the evening gala, which the guests and ENERGETIX employ­ees attend­ed in appro­pri­ate for­mal dress.

In line with this year’s „EX in the City“ mot­to, the culi­nary range was also themed with New York in mind: the live „Lit­tle Italy“, „Chi­na Town“ and „Man­hat­tan“ cook­ing sta­tions served Ital­ian, Asian and „typ­i­cal­ly“ US-Amer­i­can spe­cial­i­ties. A lav­ish dessert buf­fet and cock­tail bars per­fect­ly round­ed off the evening’s culi­nary presentation.

The launch week­end was con­clud­ed with the boat trip on the Sun­day. The leisure­ly excur­sion on the Rhine was pri­mar­i­ly planned as a gen­er­al­ly relax­ing event.

It was sun­ny and the cruise, was a cruise

The launch week­end was full of enter­tain­ing and emo­tion­al high­lights. The high­lights were real­ly mem­o­rable! A small but fine selec­tion of launch pho­tos has already been pre­sent­ed here on the FROGBLOG (where they are still avail­able for view­ing). But the big pho­to album may now also be viewed on Flickr!

Besides a large selec­tion of launch day pic­tures, you’ll also find pho­tos of the STARCLUB meet­ing on the launch Fri­day (31 August 2012) and the boat trip on the launch Sun­day (2 Sep­tem­ber 2012).

We hope you enjoy the pic­tures and have lots of fun reliv­ing the weekend!

Mud pack includ­ed: well­ness is writ­ten large at ENERGETIX Bingen

It was the time of year again when ENER­GETIX’s man­age­ment invit­ed employ­ees and their
fam­i­lies to the com­pa­ny’s grand sum­mer par­ty 2012.

A har­mo­nious trio even in fash­ion: the graph­ic artist, Yun-mi Jo, and jew­ellery design­ers, Janine Eisen­hauer and Mar­cel­la Fer­ret­ti (from left)

The pro­gramme also includ­ed a trip to the 3.5 kilo­me­ter long adven­ture bare-foot path in Bad Sobern­heim where par­tic­i­pants eager­ly wad­ed through mud and a „rag­ing“ riv­er, walked over bark mulch, sand and grav­el, pass a plank bridge and bal­anced across tree trunks.

The plucky bare-foot walk­ers were „reward­ed“ with an com­pan­ion­able lunch and a prize draw for two
bal­loon trips.
