Hanuš Lamr - a jeweler extraordinaire.
Original, handcrafted jewelry from precious materials.
Hanuš Lamr works with precious metals and stones in which he contemplates nature. The jewelry designs, in their intricacy and well-conceived composition, are provocative and, on the Czech market, unique. If you need a wedding ring or present that will last a lifetime, you will certainly have much to choose from at Hanus Lamr’s atelier.

Tucked away in a studio behind the Malostranská metro station, this artisan, Hanuš Lamr, meticulously sculpts and shapes silver and gold into beautifully crafted jewelry. He says his muse is Mother Nature herself - whether for a bracelet of silver beetles, a stunning necklace of thuja needles carefully added to a silver chain, or a wedding band with the design of a linden leaf on the inside. Peapod necklaces and earrings are his newest creations, with polished silver and pearls, as well as the brilliant blue gemstone lapis lazuli. Lamr's collections are still made the time-honored way: with a chisel, a blowtorch and long hours spent perfecting this craft that originated in the Bronze Age.

It is as if the focus of the study and subsequent creation of Hanuš Lamr define one of the fundamental qualities of artistic jewelry, which, regardless of the variation among potential concepts, belongs to the field of monumental art; even if usually not so in terms of actual dimensions, certainly so in the sense of the internal dimension and intrinsic content. I find the source of the artist’s creative potential in the fact that, even in his 40s, he has not lost the ability to be an enchanted observer of natural phenomena.

BIO

Hanuš Lamr (born in 1976 in Prague)
Both his secondary school and university studies focused on jewelry and sculpture. In 2002, he graduated from the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague (VŠUP) while at the atelier of V.K. Novak. He visited Israel and Germany as an apprentice. His work is inspired by nature and the world of plants, presenting an extraordinary and fantastic micro-world that easily transports the observer between the adventures of natural scientists and traveling explorers. His work is represented in the collections of many private collectors, as well as those of official institutions such as the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague (UPM). Madeleine Albright wears one of his brooches. In 2019, he created a diadem called “Sbirka” for the National Museum on the anniversary of its founding. The diadem becomes part of the permanent collection.
