| Place of origin |
The German jeweller Ike Jünger was born in Munich in 1958. She trained at the Staatlichen Fachschule für Glas und Schmuck in Neugablonz, then studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam. Following this she took a course in painting at the Ryksacademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam. Her intriguing and finely-detailed jewellery captures the beauty of often disregarded aspects of nature - such as crumpled dead leaves, a bundle of dry twigs, or as in this case curling bark - and presents them as abstract forms of great beauty. Her subtle enamelling conveys both colour and texture with extraordinary sensitivity.
