Texture Galore - Birgit Kupke-Peyla Jewelry

Every time we see jewelry by Birgit Kupke-Peyla

we are intrigued by her choices of color,

texture and design. Everything just seems

 to blend together flawlessly.

Birgit's pieces are visually complex

with lots of tactile layers.

We like how she describes her work as

. . . a repetition of bars soldered onto mixed metals with contrasting stripes—sterling overlaid on gold and gold on sterling—layer upon layer of pattern and geometric form, imprinted with contrasting patterns
. . . .

This rich layering of texture and color

becomes jewelry that makes a strong

impression on everyone who sees it.

Working mainly with 22kt yellow gold

and sterling silver, it's the layers and depth

of color that always draw our attention.

Her textural work extends to the interiors

and reverse sides of her work as well.

 

Using many techniques, she'll incorporate

carving, etching, rolling, embossing,

castings, hydraulic fold forming

and finishing it all with patina.

 

Each technique she chooses

brings out the best in her designs.

 

 

We love jewelry made by artists who
work with impeccable skill
and a strong sense of style.

There is no doubt this artist creates all her pieces

with the utmost in

 impeccable skill and technique.

We really can't stop thinking about how stylish
all her pieces are and we're really inspired by
the time and effort that goes into each piece.
