From teachers at the University of Applied Sciences such as Giampaolo Babetto, Franz-Josef Bette, Ilse Dawo and Johanna Dahm, as well as through working as an assistant to Sigrid Delius, Batho Gündra became acquainted with various notions of jewelry. Today, his one-of-a-kind pieces and small series fascinate the beholder with their minimalist clarity and perfect functionality. Thanks to playful elements and the outstanding craftsmanship involved, Gündra’s puristic necklaces are characterized by a touch of spontaneity and vividness. In his pendants and rings, gemstones cut in modern shapes take center stage. The look of his Tönnchenkette (“Little Barrel”) necklace, composed of freely turning elements, constantly changes as the wearer moves. The Treppenkette (“Stairs”) necklace impressively shows how much charm utmost geometric minimalism can exude.
