Designer Jewelry in Budapest
Hungarian maker of designer jewelry Gyongyver Gaal puts a little twist into all of her designs, whether it's a grass ring, a snail ring, or a slide-framed and heart-shaped necklace. Just recently the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts purchased some items form Gyongyver to display in their permanent contemporary collection.
The silver and precious stone materials take on simple, rectangular shapes in Gyongyver's skilled designs. She often over-exaggerates a single feature of her materials. She says that her favorite jewelry piece is the ring, which she likes to design so that they stand upright off the finger. She said that she also rarely designs sets of jewelry together, but prefers to make statement pieces that can stand alone. She claims no favorite designer, but rather finds all kinds of jewelry intriguing when it is pushing some sort of boundary, whether that is in the use of materials, size, or some other concept.
