You may be slightly unfamiliar with the name Fernando Jorge, but in the European jewelry design field teeming with talent, he is one of today’s hottest up-and-coming designers. His works not only frequently appear in fashion magazine spreads but also often transform into dazzling weapons for stars on the red carpet.
Today, let’s get to know a exquisitely beautiful jewelry brand that has added glamour to many international celebrities, and see what artistic essence lies hidden in this globally popular brand!
As a young brand established only in 2010, Fernando Jorge stands out among new niche jewelry brands with its rich portfolio and unconventional style, thanks to Fernando’s genetic predisposition to love art. It’s truly admirable that in just a few short years, he has managed to win the hearts of many international celebrities.
Fernando was born in the exuberant Brazil, and this unique essence from his homeland is unmistakably evident in his jewelry style.
With a lifelong love for painting, design naturally became his chosen major in university. During his college years, he worked at a jewelry factory drawing design sketches. This initial experience seemed to have a magical power drawing him to explore its mysteries, and later led him to add a vibrant stroke to the fashion style of the jewelry world.
Between “ideas” and “ideals” lies improvement and expression, so he chose to further his studies at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London. In this serious yet romantic city, fresh and interesting ideas unfold every day.
“British education allows you to understand culture and tradition very deeply, and also better interpret the Brazilian impressions in my mind,” Fernando said when talking about his study experience.
“Watching my design sketches come to life with precious metals and gemstones is an almost magical process!” This gave Fernando a great sense of achievement, and he gradually fell in love with jewelry design. The emotional connection with these handcrafted ornaments became his motivation to tirelessly launch seasonal collections, driving him to bravely carve out his own niche.
This era does not bury talent, let alone good works. Fernando’s distinctive and modern avant-garde jewelry aesthetics allowed the brand to quickly stand out from traditional jewelry. In 2014, he was named the “Emerging Accessories Designer” at the British Fashion Awards by the British Fashion Council.
Moreover, capturing the hearts of international celebrities was effortless for him. Julianne Moore, Emma Watson, Mila Kunis, and others have all worn his designs, creating highlight moments on the colorful red carpets and stirring up a wind of elegant simplicity and unique style in Western fashion circles.
Growing up to the rhythm of samba, Fernando flourished alongside lush vegetation. Those beautiful scenes have long been integrated into his blood, manifesting in the rich and unique jewelry world he creates. For him, jewelry design is the crystallization of time, a tangible expression of poetry and life.
Inspired by Brazil’s natural world, he created the Blossom series, presenting representative animals and plants such as orchids, pineapple flowers, and blue morpho butterflies. He uses teardrop-shaped gemstones to shape petals and butterfly wings, with soft curved designs creating a beautiful sense of natural growth and flow.

Nature nurtures all kinds of wonders, and Fernando interprets this beauty to perfection. After natural gemstones are carved, perhaps a lost stone might say to the sky that it once bloomed as a flower on a human’s wrist.
In recent years, people have become unsatisfied with the brilliance brought by conventional accessories. Instead, they are blazing new trails with unique and personalized niche accessories. These highly expressive pieces can be found in Fernando’s works, such as his rings.
Common wisdom suggests that rings should be delicate and small. Fernando shows us that wearing the stars and sea on your hand is also possible; hanging them by your ears to listen to the wind is equally reasonable.
The jungle lies beneath the sky and beside the sea; the vast and mysterious blue is nature’s inherent character.
Teardrop shapes frequently appear in Fernando’s works. Teardrop-shaped green tourmaline and calcite resemble the glistening splash of a clear spring, while floral designs blend modernity with vintage style, exuding an elegant temperament.
To make jewelry quickly stand out, creating a unique personal style impression is paramount. Fernando has set an excellent example in this regard. The floral design combining fiery red tourmaline and fire opal injects all the passion and sensuality of Brazilian samba into the ring.
While maintaining the brand’s unique DNA, it also achieves a “striking first impression,” no wonder his jewelry has taken the European and American fashion circles by storm.
This winter seems particularly cold, and under the thick layers of cotton clothes, there seems to be little room for aesthetics. However, the editor has a small trick to ward off the cold for all jewelry enthusiasts: choose the right jewelry, and you’ll not only look uniquely beautiful throughout the winter but also feel a warmth that touches your heart!
Fernando once launched a jewelry collection called Flame, inspired by fire, capturing the moment of dancing flames on fingers and ears. The highlight is the streamlined silhouette, where you can see naturally layered curves outlined in gold, paired with teardrop-shaped colored gemstone centerpieces, creating charming and elegant rhythms with a simple and modern style.

As a Brazilian designer, Fernando specially selected colored gemstones from Brazil, such as smoky quartz, red tourmaline, morganite, and imperial topaz, showcasing bright hues.
The center of the flame is set with teardrop-shaped colored gemstones, especially paired with a half-pavé base, forming an asymmetrical design that resembles a warm image of rising flames. It must be said that this jewelry collection is perfect for winter wear!

The design of the entire series can be described as ingenious. The flame adopts a multi-layered design, with gold outlining delicate curves, layered and articulated to form a unique rhythm. The gold surface is mirror-polished, with the ends of the curves naturally transitioning into pointed shapes.
To create rich layers, the designer also incorporated semi-transparent smoky quartz, rose quartz, and amethyst in the new works. Each gemstone is individually carved to naturally fit with the gold curved contours.

The Flame series presents 30 pieces, taking two years to complete. Three diamond-set high jewelry pieces were made in Italy. The most complex design is the High Flare bracelet, set with nearly 60 teardrop-shaped diamonds of different sizes, with the ends of the bracelet adorned with white gold teardrops that complement the fire of the diamonds.

It’s worth noting that Fernando specifically uses fair-mined gold and ethically sourced diamonds, creating beautiful works while also practicing a sustainable fashion attitude. It’s no wonder that such exceptionally beautiful and meaningful jewelry masterpieces can capture many Hollywood fans!
Rather than saying Fernando’s design talent is enviable, it’s more accurate to say that his foresight on the relationship between nature, people, and fashion is unique.
He always stays at the forefront of the times and art, understanding why gemstones are called gemstones, trying to restore them as much as possible, and infinitely approaching beauty.
