Tamara Grüner / Jewelry

Tamara Grüner transforms the profligate embellishments of the baroque into contemporary jewelry. Inspired by iron jewelry from Berlin in the 19th century, she uses widely varied tones of black. Pressed and stamped original parts from the era of historicism are combined with black porcelain and plastic. Her journey through time begins with porcelain, which was developed in Meissen in 1708, continues with pressed pieces from the historicist era, and ends in the present day with plastics used in aerospace technology. Tamara Grüner thus spans an arc that culminates in modern jewelry. In so doing, she creates exciting new items which do not exhaust themselves, as is usual in historicism, in the imitation of bygone styles.
