Anna Börcsök

I have been making jewellery since 2006 and I have been an active member of the Hungarian contemporary jewellery scene since 2013. With the help of a design scholarship I won in 2015, I discovered my own design world and since then I have been creating stainless steel plate jewellery. I have participated in several famous events such as Melting Point in Valencia, Athens Jewellery Week and JOYA in Barcelona. I have participated several times in the Autor fair with the H6 contemporary jewellery group. In 2019 I was included in the Beauty issue of Autor magazine with my collection of toilet seats. From 2017 to 2021, I achieved international success as the main organiser of the Budapest Jewellery Week. From 2021, I will focus on my own brand and in 2024, my Hommage series will be presented at the SCHMUCK competition exhibition in Munich. I finished my PhD studies in 2024 at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, my research topic was narrative jewellery, which cannot stand alone, something or someone is added to it, making it a storytelling object.
Today, jewellery is a cultural symbol in itself. Through the creator, with the help of the wearer and in conjunction with the receiving or interpreting medium, it becomes a relevant means of carrying value. The main function of jewellery is communication.
