Jewelry with a story

A destination for unconventional fine and fashion jewelry that carries stories and memories across generations

DORKA S. Jewelry stands for timeless everyday jewelry that carries stories and memories across generations. 

The designer, Dora Kovacs was born and raised in Budapest, Hungary, and has traveled the world before moving to New York.

Dora has aimed to create timeless pieces for women that decorate and capture their hearts while emphasizing their strength, independence, and personality. From a young age, Dora was inspired by her father’s work as an architect, fostering a passion for drawing and painting.

“I studied art history and painting in Budapest, and after a decade in advertising, I returned to my true calling in design. Moving to New York, my love for architecture fuels my creativity in jewelry making. I strive to create pieces that embody timeless elegance with clean lines and sculptural silhouettes. I believe that jewelry should carry a deeper significance, connecting the wearer to memories and stories that come alive through their adornment. My collections blend timelessness with modernity, aiming to resonate with women across generations.”
