Gregory Pyra Piro, originally from Poland has created jewellery since in the 1960's, beginning in Poland. But please don't get this wrong. Most of the jewellery shown on this website was made in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and right now in the 2020s. Yes this jewellery is made right now in 2020s. So some of the new work you see on this website is made right now and not 50 years ago. The jewellery is not made with lost wax casting, or with silver clay, but it is free formed with torch soldering the silver and gold metals and with reticulation of sheet metal. The jewellery has a very superior finish the type used fine jewellery with diamonds. You will find that the bezels around where the gemstones have a mirror like finish just like the kind used in gold and platinum fine jewellery. Gregory Pyra Piro jewellery is top level jewellery similar to that you would see for example at the Parallax Fair or the Desire Fair in London, Gifted The Contemporary Craft & Design Fair in Ireland, or American Art Marketing in the states. Between the 1980s and 2000s many top fine craft galleries in the states sold Gregory's jewellery. After the 2008 recession unfortunately American craft galleries stopped selling Gregory's work but Gregory's jewellery does still exist and new work still is being made right now in the 2020s where those very few in number unique pieces can be purchased right now.
Below are some examples of works created back in the past in the 1970s in Poland and Sweden. Original works included works from silver, amber, and addition of other gemstones such as amethyst, pearls, ammonite, and abalone. Some of his works had made their way to museums where his collections still can be seen in Malbork and Gdansk. Gregory didn't just make jewellery, but also made different forms of work such as cups, mirrors, chalices, etc.

Materials for these works other than just silver and amber, also included ebony wood, glass, shells, pearls, etc.
Gregory's work was always unusually creative and very technically advanced, was usually one of the most unique in Poland, Sweden, and also Europe.
In the '70s Gregory also created jewellery in Sweden. In 1976 he had a show Tidö Slott, in Tidö-Lindö, Sweden where he received a special order for Queen Silvia's and Karl Gustav's the XVI wedding.
From the '80s to '00s, Gregory created jewellery in the United States where many top gift shops and top art and craft galleries carried his work for a number of years, around the entire country. Also from the '80s until the present Gregory painted Still Life and Surrealism. In the US there were hundreds of collectors of his jewellery. Meanwhile since '00s, a few pieces have also made there way around Europe and to Australia with the help of being discovered on the internet.
