The Surround collection of the Brazilian designer, based in London, Fernando Jorge ♦ ︎
At the Couture Awards 2018 Fernando Jorge replicated last year’s award in the Diamonds Above 20K dollars category. Winning twice in a row is not a very common fact. But it must be admitted that the jury that voted for a pair of earrings in the new Surround collection by the Brazilian designer’s, was not wrong. In just a few years, since 2012, the young jewelry designer graduated from Central Saint Martins has become an international star. His Brazilian imagination has merged with British precision to churn out one collection after another, always with a special style, his own.
A goal that many designers reach after decades of application (and many never reach). And that’s why Fernando Jorge has won two such coveted awards. The Surround collection, in addition to an explosion of gold and diamonds, also uses another unusual element: the tagua nut, a Brazilian plant with a pure and very hard wood. Jade is also a little out of the ordinary, used for a pair of earrings along with tourmaline and diamonds. Who knows if the next year in Las Vegas will be able to amaze again. Giulia Netrese
