Lera Treyger is currently finishing her Master degree in Jewellery Design, Gold and Silversmithing at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Antwerp.
`The recollections` project is focused on jewellery, that has a strong meaning to people as they received it from loved ones. Even so, they do not feel any desire to wearing it. There are different reasons why: such as a completely different taste, size or even another religious belief. Still, people want to preserve the emotional connection with the person, and they are storing these presents in their drawers. But are these memories alive if jewellery is hidden in boxes and are not worn anymore?
Lera collects these jewellery, interviews the owners and reflects on their stories. She develops her personal approach to each person by combining their aesthetics and memories into new wearable jewellery with no intervention on the original one. As Lera wants to save the visual connection between a piece of jewellery and a wearer she chose transparent glass as one of the main tools in her project.
Through working with a glass artist, Lera combines borosilicate glass and precious metals with the old pieces of jewellery. By changing the way of wearing them, masking, hiding or contrariwise magnifying and emphasising the original pieces she creates a new contemporary design.
Finally, new wearable jewellery returns to the owner, but this time the memory comes out of the box.
