Seilschaften: Unique Handmade Jewelry by Gabriele Kutschera

Creating Wearable Art with Brass, Steel, and Silver

Kutschera's production includes a range of body pieces, necklaces, brooches, and earrings, all meticulously crafted by hand. The use of brass, iron punches, steel cord, and silver results in one-of-a-kind designs that stand out from mass-produced jewelry.

Each piece in the Seilschaften collection is handmade using traditional goldsmith techniques. Kutschera's background in art and design, including a diploma from the University of Applied Art in Vienna, is evident in the craftsmanship and attention to detail displayed in her work.

One of the standout features of the Seilschaften collection is the use of stainless steel cords. These cords not only add a unique aesthetic element to the jewelry but also offer flexibility, allowing for three-dimensional designs. The cords are thin enough to be worn comfortably under coats or jackets without fear of damage.

The carrying elements of the jewelry, made of prefabricated brass tubes, can also be produced in precious metals such as gold or silver, depending on the client's preferences and budget. This customization adds a personal touch to each piece, making it truly unique.

The Seilschaften collection features various designs, including a body adornment in the shape of a flower, brooches with intricate patterns, and earrings with elegant curves. The iron punches used in the jewelry are leftover pieces from a metal-punching machine, which are then flamed to create vibrant colors that replace traditional gemstones.

Each piece in the Seilschaften collection is carefully packaged in individual card boxes, sealed with a red ribbon and lacquer carrying Kutschera's initials, G.K. This attention to detail adds to the overall experience of owning and wearing these exquisite pieces.

The Seilschaften collection made its debut in September 2018 at the BKV-Gallery in Munich, Germany, after its development started in autumn 2015. Since then, it has garnered recognition and acclaim, including the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2019. This prestigious award recognizes designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life.

For those looking to own a piece of wearable art that combines innovation, craftsmanship, and unique design, the Seilschaften collection by Gabriele Kutschera is a must-have.
