Kateřina Nora Nováková | Jaroslav Kodejš senior (* September 9, 1938) belongs to the pioneers of Czech designer jewellery with the use of glass. For more than 50 years, he has been ranked among the world‘s recognized artists in this field, and his works are represented in the world‘s best public and private collections. He based his work on the traditional production of glass jewellery components from wound glass over a torch. He experienced his first successes at domestic and international exhibitions in the mid-1960s. From the position of designer for the Jablonec jewellery industry, he moved only to his own free creation since the end of the 1960s. Since then he has created for example dozens pieces of jewellery, drawings and also paintings. He was successful thanks to his own diligence and creativity, unceasing life optimism and enthusiasm. In the individual stages of his jewellery work, he almost always used coiled or fused glass in combination with silver and gold. He always respected glass in its unique properties, which he supported with the morphology of jewellery, which he still deals with despite his age.
