Katerina Reich
-
Kateřina Reich's jewelry stands out at first glance with its constructivist and geometric style, featuring meticulously crafted details. In her work, she explores innovative and unconventional approaches, which is reflected in the uniqueness and originality of her designs. She enjoys working with traditional jewelry materials such as silver and gold, but also incorporates surgical steel, which, when combined with acrylic glass, creates an important color accent.
For the year 2024, her collection Earth was nominated for the Czech Grand Design Awards in the category of Jeweler of the Year. In 2018, her collection Kyō, inspired by Japanese art, won the Best Jewelry Collection award at the international design exhibition Designblok, and was subsequently nominated for the Czech Grand Design Awards.
Her work has been featured in publications such as the American The Wall Street Journal, the Chinese edition of Harper’s Bazaar, and Cosmopolitan, alongside brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Céline, Giorgio Armani, Valentino, and others.
