New earrings of the fanciful Silvia Furmanovich, between Brazilian gems and rare woods ♦
Receiving a Las Vegas Couture award for two years in a row is not for everyone. Silvia Furmanovich, a designer of Italian origin but now permanently transferred to Sao Paulo, Brazil, has succeeded. She started creating jewelry in 1997, but she founded her brand in 2003. The jewels are produced by artisans in São Paulo. She was born into a family of goldsmiths: father and grandfather, she says, have also worked for the Vatican. So she came into contact with gold as a child. Eclecticism is the creed, his philosophy and his passion. She likes to amaze, surprise, shuffle the cards. She also went to the Amazon rainforest to look for rare Brazilian woods on which to invent inlays: she identified Muirapiranga red, Tatajuba yellow, Roxinho viola and Carvalho Azul. The result was been a collection of oversized bracelets and maxi earrings with striking decorations and the addition of precious stones, set with 18-carat gold. In any case, its jewels are based on traditional metal and precious stones, often those extracted in Brazil. Her are often unique pieces. Also because the elements that make up the jewels are sometimes rare objects and gems that she finds during his travels. And Moda Operandi has dedicated her a trunk show to her. Alessia Mongrando
