jewellery

My artistic journey is closely linked to ceramics, especially porcelain.
Through jewellery design, I began to explore new materials and work in small formats.
A piece of jewellery can tell a story, evoke feelings or simply showcase our sense of beauty.
What fascinates me most is that it is a personal work of art – visible every time it is worn.

I didn’t choose jewelry. It chose me.
At fifteen, I was handed the keys to our family’s safe — and with them, trust and legacy.
That quiet gesture lit a fire that still burns.

Jewelry is my voice.
It carries memory, meaning, identity.
More than adornment, it tells stories — even when I’m gone.

Rooted in heritage, shaped by craft,
I create with the hope that something real remains
in a world that keeps changing.

The Graz-based artist Noah Layr has spent years exploring historical metal casting techniques, the art of Urushi lacquer, and the subtle colonization of plants in jewelry.
His sculptural pieces translate natural structures into wearable miniatures, blending narrative symbolism with questions of material value, contemporary relevance, and the boundaries of adornment. www.noahlayr.com

She moves between sculpture and jewelry, merging artisanal precision with conceptual inquiry.
Her work continuously explores the boundaries of wearability, questioning what adornment can be.
Through her wooden and body-related sculptures, she creates poetic spaces—between object and body, jewelry and performance, presence and movement.

Daria Olejniczak is a jewelry artist and lighting designer.

In her artistic practice, she seeks a state of flow—that deep immersion in an activity where everything else fades into the background. Her works emerge from a meditative, repetitive engagement with small objects, which she deconstructs and restructures in a slow, intuitive process.

Hungarian artist Flóra Vági works with wood, paper, and found objects, transforming humble materials into quiet, evocative forms.
Her fragmented objects resemble “whispered stories” — delicate traces that speak of both transience and permanence.
Rooted in a deep sensitivity to material and form, 
each piece invites reflection, asking us to listen to what is fragile, what is fading, and what remains. www.floravagi.net

transforms everyday materials—used, broken, discarded—into individual, poetic pieces of jewelry. Things that are often overlooked or considered worthless are given new meaning and dignity.
With a keen sense for material and form, she creates small treasures from found objects that tell stories.
Since 2002, she has been designing jewelry under her label andreaauer that surprises and touches.

I design jewelry as a dialogue between architecture and tradition, memory and material, body and object.
With roots in architecture and traditional art, I explore the emotional impact of jewelry on the body – combining artisanal techniques with modern technology to create timeless forms with contemporary expression.
Curiosity drives me to continually discover new materials and meanings that connect identity, time and history.

Milan-born artist Chiara Longari combines her background in scenography with a mastery of fine metal techniques to create conceptual, tactile jewelry and objects.
Her work captures urban atmospheres and fleeting fragments of nature, transforming them into poetic, wearable compositions that invite reflection and touch. Each piece is a dialogue between structure and emotion, precision and spontaneity. www.kunstwirtschaft.at

My jewelry preserves stories — of origin, transformation, resistance, and renewal.
As a Palestinian designer, I draw upon traditional techniques like filigree not only to honor my heritage, but to keep the past alive in dialogue with the present.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted and grounded in the belief that a jewel is more than material — it is a vessel for memory, identity, and meaning.
Through my work, I aim to create objects that speak quietly, yet powerfully, across time and place.

I create jewelry as a medium for reflection and transformation, connecting personal memories with social and philosophical narratives. Each piece invites wearers to explore identity, time, and the emotional presence of objects on the body.
