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.
This rich layering of texture and color
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.
