There is one particular process which is the brazing of chain strands by grain soldering. I create units of different sizes and textures without deformation. I then build up these self-supporting elements one on top of each other to create constructions.

In my work I have had the opportunity to experiment with materials and find non-traditional ways to use them. This gives my jewellery its unique character. For example, I completely changed the basic function of the machine-made chain, which had been used for centuries.

Jewellery design is not in an easy situation. I am grateful that the Hungarian education system is opening up. Nowadays students are offered a wider range of approaches to design, which provides a great boost of interest in jewellery making.

An initiative called Jewellery Night was launched in 2014, although it is now called Budapest Jewelry Week. I have been involved in the organisation since 2017. Our aim is to promote Hungarian contemporary jewellery to a wider audience, to build professional relationships and to support the Hungarian jewellers’ community.
