| Music. Architecture. Nature. These are the inspiration for the Brazilian jewelry designer Carla Amorim. Carla creates jewelry that plays with light as it dances and glitters across the surface of stones using a rainbow palette of precious gems indigenous to Brazil, brushed gold and diamonds.Carla's jewelry is at once both playful and seductive.
Carla's collections reflect the inspirations of her upbringing in Brasilia. The architecture of Oscar Niemeyer, designer of Brazil's capital, plays a key role in many of Carla's necklaces, rings and earrings. This love of architecture is seamlessly blended with the flora and fauna of her homeland. She subtly references nature through flower, water, and wind motifs. Falling Leaves, Moon Valley, and Sugar Cane, all important pieces within her collections, point to the strong influence of Brazil's natural beauty to her work. Equally important to each Carla Amorim creation is the theme of music, specifically Bossa Nova- the rythm of Brazil itself. The animated and organic quality of her jewelry owes much to Brazil's rich musical traditions.
Born in Brasilia, Carla recognized in herself a profound love of design as a small child. What started as a hobby, designing jewelry for friends and family, blossomed until she decided to open her signature store, Carla Amorim Jewels, in Brasilia in 1994. In the years since, Carla's success has lead to six free-standing stores in Brazil and representation in some of the finest sores and boutiques around the globe. |
