The Parallel collection by Brazilian designer Fernando Jorge: volumes and curves with a touch of color ♦ ︎
At VicenzaOro January Fernando Jorge was one of the 12 protagonists of the Design Room. And with good reason, considering that the Brazilian designer based in London is considered one of the most innovative authors of the new jewelry. Although in some cases, as in the Bloom collection, Fernando Jorge has used so many color stones, an aspect that is usually associated with creativity and Brazilian character, Jorge actually prefers more the simple flow of lines. In short, it does not resort to daring combinations, to large and showy stones which alone resolve an entire jewel and, sometimes, hide its defects. Designing a beautiful bracelet, ring, earring, necklace with the simple stroke of a pencil and gold is more difficult. But, as the Parallel collection demonstrates, the sculptural aspect can be favored with the same effect: volumes, curves, lines prevail, even if some stone here and there adds that touch that embellishes the jewel.
