What would you tell an audience about yourself if you only had four minutes?
Beatrice Müller , master goldsmith and jewelry designer , captivated the audience with her speech on the true meaning of jewelry . This earned her the title at the International Speaker Slam World Championship, an event organized annually by top speaker Hermann Scherer. After previous events in New York, Vienna, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Wiesbaden, and Munich, the competition took place this year on September 18, 2020, in Berlin.
With 73 participants, a new world record was set. The Speaker Slam is a public speaking competition. While poetry slams involve reciting rhymes or rapping, Speaker Slams pit participants against each other with their personal topics. The event stands out with its diverse range of content, as colorful and varied as life itself.
The professional jury, which includes speakers and public speaking experts, selects a winner from all participants. Shortening a presentation while still conveying all the essential information is considered the pinnacle of professional speaking.
Craftsmanship becomes art – art comes from skill
Jewelry has always had the power to make one's inner self visible. For years, Beatrice Müller has championed the idea that jewelry is more than just a decorative accessory. Her task was to convey this perspective to a broad audience in four minutes. The goal was to touch hearts while simultaneously conveying information.
The ease with which she is, does, and even speaks about it on stage reveals the multifaceted nature of her personality. FacetCut is therefore the new name in Beatrice Müller's repertoire, given to her in November by Kerstin Scherer, Hermann Scherer's wife.
Over 20,000 handcrafted objects are on display in her own studio and museum in the Ziegler Villa in Stein near Nuremberg. Beatrice Müller enjoys talking about the stories and inspirations that drive her work, which she then brings to life at her workbench and beyond. With an open mind and a vivid imagination, readily embracing new ideas that can arise at any time, she is fully engaged in life. Her meticulous attention to detail has earned her numerous awards.
She also received the prestigious Platinum Award from the Platinum Guild Germany. Her feathered pins, the "Antennas," created for 9/11, can even be admired in New York.
Prohibitions are stones in the vegetable patch
This year, Beatrice Müller also published and presented her first book. Jewelry , design, and objects are described from conception to creation and realization. It includes themes that capture the spirit of the times: No Stress, Energy Work, Paradise, Crazy – Out of Line, 180 Degrees, and also Covid-19. These serve as a template for a " Terms & Conditions approach and a formula for dealing with personal motivational quotes that help to make experiences visible.
It's time to make the invisible in each and every one of us visible!
However, her motivation isn't to win awards, but to inspire people. Approaching life's challenges differently and thus creating a unique form of jewelry communication with the world – this approach is important to her. There are many different ways to communicate. You don't always need words, but always a connection, says the designer.
Jewelry reveals the person behind it. Especially now, in times of invisibility and coldness, it's important to convey one's message and not let emotions disappear behind a mask. It's so incredibly important right now that we get through the pandemic positively and with a smile
