In 1971, the New York Post noted that Bury "thinks the rings, bracelets and medallions should be sold with their own cubes… [so] when they are not being worn they could be set on the cubes like a miniature sculpture. He may be starting more than he thinks. Bury’s jewellery certainly can stand alone as miniature works of art." — Morelle Davidson, ‘Jewellery Maker Profile: Pol Bury,’
