silvia furmanovich

Silvia Furmanovich is a Brazilian jewelry designer known for creating fine jewelry often described as "wearable art." Born in São Paulo to a line of Italian goldsmiths, her family history includes a great-grandfather who created adornments for the Vatican and a father who was a goldsmith. Furmanovich established her appointment-only business in 1998, drawing on the meticulous craftsmanship she observed in her father's atelier. Her designs are celebrated for an innovative fusion of precious and unconventional materials, most notably the wood marquetry techniques learned from artisans in the Brazilian Amazon. These intricate wood mosaics are often combined with salvaged indigenous woods, 18k gold, and a rich palette of Brazilian gemstones. Furmanovich's collections are deeply inspired by her extensive travels, incorporating elements from Japan, Egypt, and India. This approach reflects a core brand value of preserving and elevating ancient artisanship by collaborating directly with craft communities around the world. Her work has been recognized with multiple Couture Design Awards for innovation and featured in collaborations with The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
