JEWELRY DESIGN
Each jewelry box serves as a reflection of an individual's personality, encapsulating the untold stories hidden within. From old breastpins to bone diadems, each piece carries tales from past ages.
Where did that silver spoon bracelet originate? How many years did those cone-shaped baroque pearls rest in the depths of the water? Whose slender waist once adorned that curly belt in a bygone century?
The answers lie within the refurbished pieces themselves. As eager hands sift through the jewelry box, they seek to unravel the secrets and uncover the wellsprings of inspiration for Timea. Through her creative vision, she breathes new life into each piece, infusing them with vitality and purpose.
Filigree bracelet
The Russian filigree bracelet, a cherished gift from her father during her youth, remained tucked away in her jewelry box for years. It wasn't until we crossed paths that I transformed its style, turning it into a one-of-a-kind jewelry set.
Christening present
During the era of Franz Joseph, her great-grandfather served in the military. Remarkably, when her grandfather was born, Franz Joseph assumed the role of godfather. A precious jewel, gifted by Franz Joseph, adorned the baptism ceremony.
The exact nature of this jewel from that time remains a mystery. However, today, it has been meticulously reconstructed.
This cherished piece holds significant sentimental value, serving as a poignant reminder of her great-grandfather's legacy.
Bride & Bridesmaids ring
She harbored a desire to bestow a unique gift upon her bridesmaids for her special day. Together, we deliberated on the choice of a stone that would complement all the dresses. It was envisioned as a gift that each of them could cherish and wear, serving as a lasting memento of the wedding day.
Grandmother's comb
She inherited a vintage comb from her grandmother, longing to give it new life. Through careful reconstruction, it was transformed into a bracelet adorned with coral enhancements. What was once a tool used to brush her grandmother's hair now graces her wrist, a tangible connection to the past woven into her present.
Swarovski globe
Enamored by the petite black globe that once adorned a Swarovski jewelry piece, she placed her trust in me and sought a custom creation featuring this distinctive element. The end result emerged as a stunning bracelet, showcasing the transformed little black globe. Designed with versatility in mind, this bracelet can be worn either with an additional lace or on its own, offering both elegance and adaptability.
Father's cufflinks
Her father's cufflinks lay idle in her home, evoking memories she cherished dearly. With a desire to carry a piece of him wherever she went, she embarked on a journey to repurpose them. The cufflinks were transformed into a ring, now adorning her finger as a touching homage to her father, a constant presence in her heart and on her hand.
Cup bracelet
In my workspace, every object holds the potential to metamorphose into wearable art. Take, for instance, the christening cup and spoons, imbued with sentimental value and rich history. Through meticulous craftsmanship and creative ingenuity, they are transformed into a stunning bracelet, their legacy preserved in a new and meaningful form. This process of transformation is not merely about adornment; it's a journey of honoring cherished memories and breathing new life into treasured heirlooms. Each piece that passes through my hands becomes a testament to the power of transformation and the beauty of preserving the past while embracing the present.
Plate bracelet
In the realm of my creative workspace, ordinary objects undergo extraordinary metamorphoses. Consider the humble plate and spoons, once relegated to the confines of kitchen cabinets or display shelves. Through my artistry, they transcend their original purpose, reborn as a captivating bracelet that adorns the wrist with elegance and charm.
What sets this bracelet apart is its versatility. With the ability to change the lace decoration, it seamlessly adapts to suit different moods and occasions, offering a customizable touch that reflects individual style and expression.
But the transformation doesn't stop there. Even a bonbonniere plate, once used for sweet treats and celebrations, finds new purpose as wearable jewelry art. Each piece I create is a testament to the boundless possibilities of imagination and craftsmanship, where everyday objects are elevated to new heights of beauty and significance.
