This June, filmmaker Bruce LaBruce and German jeweller Jonathan Johnson unite once again for a bold new venture—the LOVE HATE jewelry collection. This collaboration, fourteen years in the making, dives into the duality of emotions, blending LaBruce’s cinematic flair with Johnson’s craftsmanship.
The duo’s creative journey—from Niagara Falls to LaBruce’s hometown of Port Elgin—imbues the pieces with a sense of movement, fluidity, and understated rebellion. With 47 pieces crafted in brass, recycled sterling silver, and customizable gold, each design merges accessibility with artistry, all produced in Hamburg.
Just launched this week, the LOVE HATE collection marks the latest chapter in a long-standing partnership, with more past collaborations set to follow.
This is a collection where art, emotion, and craftsmanship collide. A celebration of contrasts—embracing both sides.
Check out the pieces, and shop the full collection after the jump!

Eh? I’m from the Christopher Atkins / puka shell generation. Thug jewelry has never appealed to me.
