Journey of a Jeweler by Silvia Furmanovich

Furmanovich travels the globe, uncovering age-old crafts that become a foundation for her exquisite designs, which at their heart are traditional jewelry—rings, necklaces, pendants, brooches, and earrings—all crafted with precious stones, combined with wood marquetry and other nontraditional materials.

With fine jewelry taking pride of place, the collections featured in this book expand to include handbags, furniture, and smaller luxury home goods. Collaborations with artisans are at the heart of Furmanovich’s practice, and in recent years her curiosity has led her far and wide. She has explored miniature painting in India, discovered bamboo work in Japan, and witnessed intricate marquetry techniques in her native Brazil and a host of other traditional techniques from Central Asia to Southeast Asia. This book reveals her close relationships with these highly skilled makers and presents the resulting pieces, which hold a rare and special beauty.
