From 1993 onwards Yoka Voorbach (1950-2007) combined etching and goldsmithing. From these techniques she developed a new discipline: graphic jewellery. By means of the etching technique, which leaves deep reliefs and other traces on the metal to be worked, she suggested weathering and age, so that it seemed as if the objects and jewellery had just been excavated at an archaeological site. Prehistory, ancient civilisations, nature and archaeological finds were a great source of inspiration for Voorbach.
As Yoka Voorbach herself put it: "Abstracted human and animal figures are often present in my designs as an expression of the respect I feel for natural life and the survival instinct that some intelligent beings have displayed since time immemorial despite their vulnerability."
