Béla-Gyula Krieger was a Hungarian art nouveau artist who made designs for jewelry. He worked in Paris and created designs with fish, chimera, gargoyles and many other fantastical objects. This is a small sampling of his jewelry drawings, which includes cephalopods and gargoyles.
To see Krieger’s crazy awesome designs, go here and here! His jewelry designs are at the top and bottom of the pages ;) (easy to spot) They are REALLY unusual, extremely colorful and very imaginative!

He designed this powerfully evocative necklace for his second wife, Augustine-Alice Ledru, around the turn of the century. The repeats of the main motif — an attenuated female nude whose highly stylized curling hair swirls around her head and whose arms sensuously curve down to become a border enclosing enamel-and-gold swans and an oval cabochon amethyst — are separated by pendants set with fire opals mounted in swirling gold tendrils.
