Queen Silvia in 1976 after his work was
shown in
Tidö Slott, in
Tidö-Lindö,
Sweden. Gregory had shows since the
1970's until the present in Europe, USA, Australia. His jewelry works
were published in books, which were printed in Germany, Poland, United
Kingdom, France, etc. Some of his recent made work currently is found
in galleries in the United States and Europe. His art jewelry is
something that is entirely artist created and not influenced by the market.
Gregory Pyra art jewelry, unique in a class by itself, is different than
anything in the craft movement in the UK, USA, and Australia, and different
than any mass produced jewelry. It is something that artist creates
completely on his own, and at the same time has superb quality. Today
Gregory Pyra, Gabriel Pyra, and Piro Group continue creating superb art
jewelry design pieces and also unique sculpture. There are many
designs available. Persons interested in Gregory's recent made
original works can contact the artist.
Art jewelry, designer jewelry by artist Gregory Pyra Piro and the Piro
Group has been a long multi generation tradition in the family. Piro
art jewelry is made in a unique way and is formed into a unique form.
Every jewelry piece is a work of art, created entirely in free form.
Unlike most jewelry today, which is made in either casting or is stamped,
Piro art jewelry is made by hand and the free forms are made with a torch
with careful precision soldering, which is something that takes a long time
and a lot of skilled talent to master. Therefore, each piece, even if
based on a similar or even the same design will come out a bit different,
unlike it would in cast pieces, and each piece is one of a kind even if
based on a particular design. The Piro art jewelry is made in sterling
silver and 14 karat or 18 karat gold, and sometimes all gold. The
designs for center stones often have facet cut gem stones such as:
amethyst, blue topaz, citrine, garnet, iolite, peridot, green
tourmaline, pink
tourmaline, or
any other different colors of tourmaline. Alternately sometimes
cabochons of moonstone
and opal are
used. Side stones, which sometimes are also major parts of the design
pieces can include:
ammonite,
Baltic amber,
glass,
sea glass,
drusy, mother pearl, and
Australian opal.
Pearls, opal,
moonstone,
can be placed either as center or side gem stones. The center gem
stones in many Piro design jewelry pieces frequently come in such
combinations as:
amethyst and blue topaz,
amethyst and garnet,
blue topaz and
peridot,
citrine and garnet,
citrine and peridot, and
tourmaline can
come with another color gem stones. Sometimes gem stones can double up
as two amethyst stones or two blue topaz stones, for example. And
simpler pieces may have a single gem stone. Piro art jewelry includes
combination pieces such as
ring pendants, and some unique creative pieces such as the
stack rings.
