Monika Jakubec Jewellery: Bold Geometric Design & Colour in Motion
Monika Jakubec creates contemporary jewellery defined by bold geometry, colour, and innovative construction. Working from her studio in Munich, she combines clean architectural forms with vibrant resins to produce sculptural pieces that feel both striking and wearable.
At DesignYard, we are proud to showcase Monika Jakubec as part of our curated collection of European design-led jewellery — where material, structure, and colour come together in unexpected ways.
Jewellery Built from Geometry
At the heart of Monika Jakubec’s work is a fascination with geometric form. Starting with simple shapes — cones, spheres, cylinders, and tubes — she builds complex, sculptural pieces through repetition, layering, and transformation.
Her designs often:
- Combine multiple geometric elements
- Play with balance and proportion
- Push beyond traditional jewellery structures
The result is jewellery that feels architectural, precise, and visually bold.
Innovative Construction & Material Exploration
Monika’s work is driven by experimentation. She continually explores new ways of constructing jewellery, allowing the process itself to shape the final design.
A defining feature of her work is the integration of resin as both a structural and decorative material.
In her pieces:
- Resin forms part of the body of the jewellery
- Precious metals such as silver and gold frame and support the form
- Transparency and opacity are used to create depth and contrast
This combination results in jewellery that is lightweight, tactile, and structurally distinctive.
Colour, Light & Transparency
Colour plays a central role in Monika Jakubec’s designs. She creates her own pigments, mixing colours in small batches to achieve unique tones and effects.
Her use of resin allows her to:
- Capture and reflect light within the piece
- Create a sense of depth and dimension
- Highlight the interaction between material and form
In some designs, the resin acts almost like a window — drawing the eye through the piece and subtly connecting it to the wearer.
Sculptural Jewellery Designed to Be Worn
Despite their bold appearance, Monika’s pieces are designed with wearability in mind. Each piece is carefully balanced to sit comfortably and interact naturally with the body.
She describes her jewellery as:
- A companion to the wearer
- Something that enhances rather than overwhelms
- A harmonious extension of personal style
This balance between sculpture and wearability is central to her approach.
