Tzuri Gueta

Statement

The famous “happy accident” whilst experimenting has lead to Tzuri Gueta, Paris-based textile and jewelry designer - becoming the recognized master of silicone jewelry. Silicone penetrates the tiniest fissures and cavities of fabric, blending perfectly with all textures. It can imitate wood, ivory, coral, or leather, taking on their physical qualities, infusing them with subtle luminosity, while adding new forms and agreeable textures. Textile fibers are diverted to unconventional uses, revisited, constantly pushed further and further in their plastic qualities.

Tzuri Gueta offers a unique line of silicone and textile jewelry and accessories. A primitive, almost vegetal experience is evoked by these creations. His organic forms are reminiscent of sensual underwater plants, corals, and sea sponges, plucked from the ocean bed. They look hard and spiked and rough but are surprisingly soft and pliant to the touch. Large but lightweight they are extraordinary pieces of art that demand attention. The tactile and sensual materials arouse organic, known, and yet mysterious sensations. Not for the pearls-and-cashmere gals, these tactile treasures dictate their “frames” – the wearer should not be faint-hearted! Looks ranging from shock, surprise, supercilious distaste to admiration, and sheer envy are guaranteed. Necklaces, bracelets, rings, and accessories, their surfaces are surprisingly tactile, their effect is ironic and yet very sophisticated.

I think it was the kibbutz that gave me all these possibilities. I had a very inspiring life that helped me find myself, to find my identity to create, and to be closer to nature.
