Thursday the 7th was a busy day at 9PR. After the NEYE since 1881 by Jørgen Simonsen event, we had another event at Klarlund Jewellery on Østergade 22 in Copenhagen. This was the launch of Morten Barbré's jewellery line called The Old Barber Shop Jewellery.Morten Barbré is the owner of the tattoo shop The Old Barber Shop, which some of you might know from the tv show; Tattoo Salonen. Morten has always been fascinated by the exclusivness of a fine jewellery, and he put the fascination into action which has led to The Old Barber Shop Jewellery. It might seem like an odd couple - high end jewellery and the tattooed Morten Barbré, however when you think of it, Morten has a certain old world charm about him. Read on to see the jewellery line, and the pictures of the event.
On a chilly autumn evening, the blue carpet was unfolded in front of Klarlund, and the mood was set with burning torches.
Morten and his wife Hannah were ready to welcome all the guests at the event.
The jewellery line is a perfect expression of Morten Barbrés individual vision and personality - it is an attempt to combine the raw with the refined, the modern with the old. All the jewellery are made from 18 kt gold and with top Wesselton VVS diamonds.
The Love Ring, as you see above, is The Old Barber Shop Jewellery's interpretation of the old signet ring, where one could ingrave family alliances, family images etc. Here, the idea is that you can ingrave that personal story, line from a song or anything else that is privately between you and another person. The letters are so small, that you need a magnifying glass to read it, which means that the message can remain secret, only known by those you choose.
A little red carpet action. Morten Barbré greeted all his guests with smiles and hugs. Read on to see who guested the event (which many many people did!)

Everybody listened intently, and Klarlund was strecthed to its limits! Full house is an understatement.
