Kinga Olah is a London-based contemporary jewellery artist and designer. Her artistic journey is inspired by a deep and delicate interplay between jewellery and the human body. Her pieces artfully capture the body’s negative spaces, transforming them into wearable expressions of art. Her work blends traditional jewellery techniques with innovative processes refined over years of material exploration and experimentation. Her distinctive, time-consuming method involves reconstructing crushed stones into layered compositions, creating an extraordinary surface texture.
Kinga’s pieces are a dance of transcendental beauty and sensitivity, forging a subtle yet profound connection with the wearer. They are a testament to the delicate interaction between the jewellery and its owner, forming a personal narrative that unfolds with every wear.
Her dedication to environmental consciousness is evident in her choice of materials – she crafts her pieces from recycled gold and silver. Going beyond, she often repurposes gemstones, including damaged ones, giving them new life. She also regularly incorporates raw and uncut gemstones into her designs, adding a unique and natural touch to her jewellery creations.
Kinga is not only a member of Handmade in Britain but also a member of the Association for Contemporary Jewellery and a valued participant in the Precious Collective. Her work has been showcased in numerous prestigious exhibitions and galleries.
