Jewellery with an eco-heart
- • Kolbrún designs with the wearer in mind
- • She creates beautiful objects with low environmental impact
- • Her style is subtle but has an edge
Kolbrún Ýr Gunnarsdóttir trained as a fashion designer at IED Barcelona, Escola Superior de Disseny. During her studies she began experimenting with materials and making pieces of jewellery. On returning to Iceland, she took a number of courses in silversmithing with Halla Bogadóttir, her teacher at Tækniskólinn in Reykjavík. After mastering the basics, Kolbrún knew the right direction for her was to set up her own studio and continue to develop her silversmithing skills. Sustainability is a key concern of her practice and she mainly works with recycled silver, ensuring her materials are ethically sourced. She creates subtle, beautiful and contemporary jewellery which has heart and soul.
