Manfred Chevrell was born in Graz, Austria in 1943. Beginning his education as a gold and silversmith in 1957 he moved to Sweden in 1964 where he now has his own gold and silver workshop in the city of Vaxjo. He has a strong interest in ancient history, handcrafts and human culture, which are reflected in the beautiful art-jewelry that he creates. I experiment with different material combinations, especially with silver, gold and iron.
Electronic waste is used as well.
My works express the impressions and inspiration I experienced during my studies of different eras in history. Manfred says that he has been interested in Polynesian culture for a long time and when he saw a TV program about Niue he decided that this was the place for his jewelry.
