Necklace with natural lapis lazuli, small freshwater pearls and a handmade half ball pendant on the closure DIMENSIONS length 44 cm / 17 inch MATERIALS high polished brass, small white freshwater pearls, natural lapis lazuli BRIGITTA BARCZI 〰️ contemporary jewellery My name is Brigitta Barczi, jeweller and jewellery designer. Creativity has been important all of my life, and I have always happy to spend my time with creative creation. I painted, loved to drawing, woven, and tried the sewing. Finally, I found myself in the jewelry making. I have tried many different jewellery making techniques, and so many type of materials. I have got goldsmith degree in 2018 at The School of Visual Arts Budapest. Getting to know the work with metals was the beginning of a new love, and was a new direction in my life. 

Every and each piece is made by hand, from the wax carving, the sawing to soldering and the final polishing. I work almost exclusively with raw or recycled metals like sterling silver and brass. The resulting jewels are eclectic and contemporary pieces with a touch of ancient impression, designed for modern woman, for wearing every day.

My masterwork in 2018 was a brooch collection, its theme is VÍZ (meaning water in Hungarian), which inspired by a personal emotion. I was always attracted by the water, its simple but complex beauty, cleanliness, the world of waves and sea. I was amazed by the vortices and splashes made ripple on the water’s surface, so I made my masterwork about the shedding to water of the water drops: falling into water, the splash, and the moment of diving. My directives were to make the result to the most simple with clean shapes, because I think there is every complexity in simplicity, but without surpluses.

I have followed this line nowadays. My pieces were inspired by the modern art, feminine and natural forms, often the focus with the water, the sea.
