Natural Works of Art

Jewelry artist Konrad Laimer likes to experiment with natural materials and different casting techniques. He created his “Apple Core” collection, for example, from apple slices with symmetrical cores. He also uses the wood from ash, spruce, pine, linden, chestnut and apple trees to craft rings, brooches and jewelry for the arm. In 2009, this South Tyrolean artist started developing his “Vine” edition based on the molds obtained from vines, their leaves and bark, and even from grapes. Using the dead-mold casting technique, he creates unique pieces of gold and silver jewelry which demonstrate that Nature offers us works of art as gifts that only await discovery.
