Gabriella Kiss
American
Gabriella Kiss’ delicate, figurative jewelry is at once poetic and scientific. Meticulously crafted in the finest materials, her precision reveals the awesome beauty of nature’s nuances. The daughter of a research scientist, Kiss studied sculpture at New York’s Pratt Institute, learning to make wax models for casting, a technique that now defines her jewelry designs. Through her renowned jewelry, she gracefully honors her enduring fascination with nature, with life cycles, with birth and death and the universe in between. Kiss has an eye for the small and is drawn to detail, deriving inspiration from the flora and fauna of nature and the life cycles of the natural world and art history. The pieces are meant to have a personal meaning to the wearer, beyond adornment.
