Nora Kovats is a contemporary jewellery designer and illustrator from South Africa that is now based in Berlin. She works with silver and vitreous enamel. Nora Kovats uses botanical imagery in her pieces. She refers to her garden as an inspiration even though her mythical garden in her jewellery may not always reflect her physical garden. She uses the botanical illustrations of her garden as a surface to sieve enamels over while also using her illustrations to inspire the colours she uses in her enamelling process.
Her pieces are interesting as they are simple pierced pieces of metal that have been enamelled. Some of the pieces are domed and strung with beads or stones. She has different variations of the same techniques which are due to the fact that she chooses to create multiple pieces of jewellery at the same time. She states that this is because "it’s a creative process in several disciplines simultaneously."(Kovats,2020)
