ŠPERKÁRNA REALLY GAVE ME A LOT...

You graduated from the Secondary School of Applied Arts and the College of Crafts in Turnov. Did the school give you a lot? What recommendations would you give to novice jewellers in gaining new experience?

The so-called Špéra or Šperkárna school really gave me a lot. The four years spent at the school at the very heart of the Bohemian Paradise region was great preparation for designing jewellery and its craftsmanship, mastering demanding technologies and gaining a general overview in the field of art history. There was a beautiful creative environment, and I was lucky to have an excellent goldsmith's studio management team (academically trained painter, Jiří Studnička) and exceptionally high-quality workshop teachers (Jiří Chval and Jaroslav Prášil).

His creations are worn by celebrities, businessmen and physicians alike. After all, as he says, jewellery is inextricably linked to female beauty.

Jeweller Marek Rufert: jewellery from Ústí nad Labem is worn by miss winners and by wealthy people from all over europe

Many beauty competition winners received a jewel produced in Ústí nad Labem as a prize. They were made by jeweller Marek Rufert.

Production of a jewel may take from several hours to several months. As Marek Rufert says, it depends on the laboriousness, availability of raw materials, artistic preparation of the design, and many other factors.

You are a recognised jeweller, how did you get into this craft?

In my family I was an apple that fell rather far from the tree. My father is a doctor, my mother a university teacher. Thinking about that, I can say that i had actually been preparing for the artistic craft of jewellery since early childhood. as a child, I kept dismantling and putting things together. I used to buildvarious models and spent a lot of time drawing. In talent exams for the secondary industrial school of art in Turnov, called the jewel school, they chose 17 students out of 250 applicants.
