Statement

Nora Rochel “Querbeet”
Inspired by the wordplay of the German word „querbeet“, meaning unsystematic, mix and match as well as referencing flower beds, Nora Rochel explores the world of flowers and organic growth as visual formgiving and expressiveness in both jewellery and everyday objects. While flowers generally are considered a bit sentimental she was inspired by the full spectrum of their complexity and variegation.
Wearing Nora Rochel‘s rings turns one‘s hands into small landscapes and gardens. Many of the rings are fanciful, but often the source of inspiration is a real flower. Characteristic features are hidden details like small flowers on the inside or the use of different metals in one piece. They catch the instant of a flower‘s pure vitality while avoiding kitsch.
