Full-time
Fernando Jorge is a Brazilian-born fine jewellery designer widely considered to
be amongst the brightest emerging talents in the jewellery and fashion worlds
alike.
Fernando worked for almost ten years in key design roles for various Brazilian
jewellery labels before moving to London for an MA in Jewellery Design at
Central Saint Martins. His first eponymous collection, launched in 2010, was
received with critical acclaim and the designer subsequently established his
brand in the UK.
Fernando’s pieces are imbued with sensuality, energy and movement – his
aesthetic is inherently Brazilian. He often uses locally sourced gemstones and
minerals, giving them his signature finish, including unique cuts and the use of
delicate gold snake chain. The result has a distinctly sculptural feel that is
both elegant and modern.
