Yuri Kuper: vintage jewelry out of this world

The Russian-born artist Yuri Kuper brings to jewelry an artistic approach similar to the art of painting. The painter diverts banal objects from everyday life in order to create pretty original jewelry! For example, a match, a pen, an apple, a brush, a lock can become a broock, a ring… Yuri Kuper has produced luxury jewelry that is relatively rare. In part because his pieces are usually produced in limited series, such as the Objets Trouvés line ("lost and found").
