FERNANDO JORGE
Since graduating from Central
Saint Martins in 2010, Fernando
Jorge has enjoyed a meteoric
rise to become one of the UK’s
most illustrious jewellers. Worn
by high-profile women such as
Beyoncé and Michelle Obama,
the Brazil-born designer’s jewels
are renowned for their radiant
energy and effortless sensuality.
His latest collection, Flame,
is, he says, concerned with
“creating a sense of movement,
dynamism and confidence”. His
design process is “part emotion,
part intuition, balanced by
a rigorous process of refining
my designs to their essence”.
The setting of the pear-shaped
diamonds in the Flame earrings
makes them appear ready to
take off from the ear and join
the stars in the sky.
