The chain that led to jewellery

  • • Nóra is inspired by design objects and natural forms
  • • She graduated from Geneva’s Haute École d'Art et de Design
  • • Her first jewellery piece was a quirky heart-shaped ring which she still wears

After four years of training as an interior designer, Nóra Tengely sensed she was not on the right path, finding it difficult to identify with certain aspects of the subject. After attending a course in metalworking that deeply touched her, Nóra decided to change her life path and study jewellery and accessory making at university in Geneva. She also graduated with a master's degree at MOME in Budapest in 2017. What helped refine the nature of Nóra’s craft was the Lajos Kozma Arts and Crafts Scholarship, which allowed her to experiment with material combinations and jewellery properties. Today, in her shared studio in Budapest, Nóra expresses her creative drive by continuously modernising her techniques and creating jewellery pieces that provoke discussions over human attachment, relationships and tactile experiences.
