The highest quality of traditional goldsmithery provides the solid foundation for her jewellery, crafted into integral pieces thanks to the precious stones as well as alternative materials and techniques the artist uses. She often draws inspiration from observing nature, the forms of which she applies as raw material for some of her works, while in others she stylises man-made materials and at times even introduces grotesque proportions in her projects. Her pieces of jewellery exude humour, tell stories and take us into the carefree world of childhood, while also evoking ideas and posing questions. When making her design jewellery she fnds an unabating source of inspiration in the natural precious stones coming in a wide range of colours. Several of her works can be found in the collection of the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest.
