Fernando Jorge Launches New Jewelry Collection: Flame

Fernando Jorge is one of today's most talented independent jewelry designers Few designers can maintain such a restrained approach to design, which is why Jorge has made such a name for himself in just a decade in business Jorge describes his inspiration by saying, "My process is very consistent throughout all of the collections.

I prefer to design and operate in an evocative way, not so much a figurative way My inspirations tend to be filtered down to a force of nature, a very undeniable element of the world without human interference So we talk about Fluid, Electric, Fusion, Stream, Brilliant, they have a mood, and what I tried to express with Flame was a more energetic mood" The collection focuses on jewelry in 18K yellow or rose gold, and the pieces that have gemstones feature pear-cut stones, which is what originally sparked the idea for the collection.

Jorge says, "The Flame idea really came from placing a stone at an angle alongside the face when designing earrings I was really drawn to that, then understanding how that links to jewelry motifs from the past, like leaves or paisley motifs, jewelry from the 30s, the 40s, and trying to reenergize that and do a different interpretation of that The idea of flame expanded from this flattering, uplifting silhouette" Jorge honors his Brazilian heritage and his countrymen's craftsmanship in the choice of stones.

Today, it seems like the news is constantly filled with stories of out-of-control fires ravaging different parts of the world, and Jorge notes that as he was designing the collection he felt like he was surrounded by flames in his travels, first in California, then in Colorado, and finally in New Zealand while the Australian Bush fires were burning The collection is currently available on Net-A-Porter and will be available on Fernando Jorge's website when it launches e-commerce in mid-October. .
