Eszter Sára Kocsor up-and-coming Hungarian jewelry designer is featured at this year’s MAD About Jewelry at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. As one of the most important annual benefit sale of contemporary jewelry, the event showcases 50 emerging and acclaimed international jewelry artists, Kocsor being the sole representative from Hungary on the grandiose occasion. Kocsor Eszter Sára’s appearance in the United States is made possible partially by the Liszt Institute New York.
Kocsor’s pieces, some featuring zirconia and gemstones, are made with point welding laser, put together piece by piece with utmost precision. She describes her emotional connection to the collection as follows: “I had to realize that my jewelry symbolizes myself and the path where I’m trying to find myself. I want to define myself as precisely as possible. I have always been a bit insecure; however, while creating, I have always felt a deep knowledge and determination to accomplish what I want to do. My jewels are symbols of the determination and dedication I always want to feel inside me.”
MAD About Jewelry has become known as the ultimate pop-up shop for contemporary, artist-made jewelry, where collectors and jewelry enthusiasts have the rare opportunity to meet and acquire pieces from some of the most innovative creators in the field.

About the artist
A jewelry designer based in Budapest, Eszter Sára Kocsor seeks to give her wearers a glimpse of a different world. Her stainless steel “Mirror in Mirror” work came to life during the time she spent in Hildesheim, Germany and includes collections in both black or gold PVD (physical vapor deposition) entitled “Black Mirror” and “Gold Mirror”. This very strong coating makes the stainless steel even harder, scratch and wear resistant, thus ensuring its longevity. Having earned her degree at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest and at the HAWK University of Art and Design in Hildesheim, Germany, Kocsor's artworks have been featured in renowned locations and events such as the Los Angeles Art Fair, the New York City Jewellery Week, the Budapest Central Europen Fashion Week, the Design Museum of Barcelona and at the FISE gallery in Budapest.
