Known for his sensual shapes and easygoing elegance, London-based, Brazilian-born jewelry designer Fernando Jorge’s craft is taking the world of fashion by storm. His dazzling collections, often combining brilliant diamonds with colorful custom-cut stones, are inspired by the rich cultural landscape of his home. From celestial formations to earthly materials, Jorge harnesses the power of nature to enhance the man-made, constantly bending the rules of fine jewelry to reflect his reverence for heritage and connection to the places that influenced him throughout his life.
Since Jorge’s pieces have earned a top spot on many of our own wish lists, we decided to ask the designer about his own must-haves. From luxuriously laid-back linen to artists’s tools that truly stand the test of time, they’re as simply stylish as the jeweler’s own signature aesthetic.
