Fruzsi Fekete makes delicate pieces of jewelry, and this is especially true for the pieces of the “Leaves” collection. The jewelry family built from small petals oozes fragile elegance. The designer achieves this effect with a special technique, the so-called lost-wax casting method: she shapes every piece from wax manually, this is how the pieces become unique and unrepeatable. The subtle pieces of the Leaves collection are ageless and contemporary at the same time, and as such, they should be part of the jewelry box of every pretty woman. We recently did an interview with the jewelry designer, in relation to her latest collection, “Curves.”

Noémi Gera graduated from the department of metal work design of MOME in 2005: she started to create her own jewelry at that time and she launched her own brand a few years later, in 2012. According to her, she is not interested in average jewelry, but the memorable and special pieces. In addition to precious metals, she has already experimented with paper, aluminum, plastic, textile, hair, stamp and many other materials. The geometric shapes characteristic of her extravagant jewelry are dissolved by the softly folded arches, colors and materials. The first pieces of the paper collection were showcased in numerous metropolises, including Vienna, Milan, London, New York and Helsinki. The designer’s product palette offers a wide variety: in addition to the rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and brooches, you can also find rings for men, cuffs and shirt jewelry.

Dániel Kiskéry launched his own jewelry brand in September 2019. He primarily experiments with digital production technologies, including 3D printing to create unconventional pieces. His jewelry is characterized by a scientific-engineering thinking. Currently he works on developing two product collections: one of them is “Spira”, and the other is “Lacunae”, using stainless steel as a raw material. In the case of the former, the designer was inspired by the growing algorithms of plants and crystals, while in the case of the latter, he used the human bone structure as a source of inspiration.

Fanni Király is one of the dominant figures of the Hungarian applied arts scene. She mainly creates unique silver objects that can be reproduced in limited series. She likes to experiment with each collection and she chooses materials that are less frequent in traditional jewelry making many times. She likes wood and bone, many of her series were made of exotic species. She uses parchment goatskin with a unique technique, creating 3D, statuesque jewelry combined with silver out of it. Fanni’s work is characterized by “treasure rescue”: many times she uses old fragments, antique carvings or personal relics so that they can become wearable objects once removed from their hiding place.

„L’arbre pour l’art”, meaning “Wood for art”– this is L’arbre Design’s motto. The brand was founded by Barbara Komlós and his husband, Levente Gőgh in 2017 and they have created countless special rings, pendants and earrings since then. The basis of all their jewelry is a tropical tree type, and they lure out the gorgeous hidden patterns from it with a precise polishing process. When designing the L’arbre Design pieces, the designers turn to nature for inspiration: they enclose the coral reefs of the ocean, the edge of the snowy mountaintops, the wildflowers of fields, and the green essence of forests into the jewelry, and sometimes they build imaginary landscapes into the resin.

We have been keeping an eye on the SAPI jewelry brand for ages, and we fell in love with many pieces over the years. Sapi Szilágyi’s jewelry line was inspired by nature: you can find rings and earrings resembling branches, but there are also bee necklaces and butterfly earrings in the selection. Our personal favorite is the fly pin. In addition to her own collection, SAPI also created engagement and wedding rights in her workshop, based on individual orders. Sapi’s tiny workshop can be found at the loft of SISKO Studio, where the workshops of several other design brands we love, including virágéknál, nandi and Müskinn, can also be found. Unfortunately the girls’ headquarters are closed right now, but we can’t wait to visit them once the epidemic is over.

Kittens, foxes, elephants, dinosaurs and many other species populate the Stampp jewelry, may it be bracelets, necklaces or smaller or larger earrings. Our personal favorite is the new sloth ring!

Judit Wild’s brand, Vadjutka Design Jewelry was launched in 2007. The product palette mainly includes silver jewelry, which also feature other materials in addition to the precious metals, for example plexiglas in the past period. The ring named “Neon Pop” is a piece of this kind, which we have been longing for quite some time now, but we also love the “Little bit of glamour” ring very much, too. Judit prefers simple and clean forms, but she also likes rustic, wild solutions and unconventional combination of materials, too. She likes it if a piece of jewelry has a story.
