About

A symbol of divinity and femininity According to Géza Varga paleographer, the tulip motif has an important role in the world of religion. It is often used to symbolise the “sky-high tree”, which corresponds to what we call Milky Way today. The middle petal, for example, is used to depict the fissure of the Galaxy in which the sun rises at Christmas time. Together with its role as a feminine symbol, it symbolises the birth of a sun god in the vulva of the matriarch, which is another popular interpretation of the tulip motif.

WELCOME TO ADORA

I am Dora Papay, the glass artist behind the ADORA jewelry brand.

I made my first glass heart 14 years ago, after I had a  dream with my late mother . When I woke up the next morning, I felt like I was surrounded by pure love, hope, and a knowing, that someone is watching over me.

I created the first heart as a wearable reminder of this loving presence that's all around us.

My favorite medium to work with is dichroic glass, because of its unique optical properties. It appears to have different colors when viewed from different angles. The color-shifting effect of this glass is the result of multiple, transparent layers of metals on its surface. This coating is similar to a gemstone, making each sheet of glass unique.

 

 

A lot of my inspiration comes from Hungarian folk art, especially from floral motifs.


Every design I create has multiple meanings, and messages

When I created the heart, I started out with a tulip shape, because  in folk art, it is the symbol of divinity, and femininity.  The sphere in the middle, symbolizes the immortality of the soul.

The tulip is enclosed in a heart shape, as a reminder, that love is our highest power.

Each piece of jewelry is handmade, and every one of them is unique. While I strive for uniformity, each piece will be slightly imperfect.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, please contact me if you have any questions.

Love : Dora
