Strawberry & cream - LOVE HATE Jewellery Collection
When Jewellery kisses Art – The Limited Love Collection by strawberry & cream
The iconic LOVE sculptures by Mia Florentine Weiss, showcased in more than 50 cities worldwide, are now available for the first time as wearable art. The collection includes LOVE necklaces as well as a matching keyholder or bag charm.
Created in collaboration with designer Constanze Kponton from strawberry & cream, this special project—“love to go”—transforms a powerful artwork into an everyday companion.
At the heart of the design is the ambigram: from the front, it reads LOVE; from the back, HATE. This striking concept reflects a powerful message for our time: Turn Hate into Love—an idea deeply rooted in Weiss’ artistic ouevre:
“I am art, says my heart. I’m a born idea—that’s why I am here.”
A Tribute to Style Icons and Emotions
Where fine jewellery meets contemporary art: the signature Love ambigram by Mia Florentine Weiss is available in gold, rose gold, white gold, and silver.
Inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City—famous for her personalized name necklace—this design symbolizes individuality, memories, and emotional expression.
Echoing Weiss’ poetic universe, the collection carries a spirit of freedom and identity—stay wild, moon child—while transforming emotion into a tangible, wearable statement.
In addition to two necklace variations, the collection features a third art piece: the Love keyring, which doubles as an elegant bag charm.

The Love Necklace in White Gold – Timeless Elegance with Meaning
The white gold Love necklace combines iconic design with lasting quality. Crafted from 18k white gold, the LOVE/HATE ambigram appears especially clean, modern, and refined. Its cool tone enhances the graphic clarity of the design, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.
White gold stands for timeless elegance and versatility, complementing styles ranging from minimalist to sophisticated.
As wearable art, the necklace subtly communicates Mia Florentine Weiss’s central message: opposites are interconnected. LOVE and HATE—like yin and yang—are two sides of the same coin.
This philosophy is also reflected in the symbolic word ALOHA, reinterpreted here as Always Love Over Hate Always—a message that resonates far beyond jewellery.
Each piece is handcrafted, making every necklace a one-of-a-kind statement for those who value art, design, and meaning.
