Octagonal forms crowned with fire opal from Furmanovich’s Art Deco vision
Black ceramic frames cut into perfect octagons capture the geometric precision of Manhattan's Art Deco towers, their mineral edges softened by fire opal and scattered diamonds that burn with inner light.

Born into a family of Italian goldsmiths, Silvia Furmanovich founded her business in 1998, and her restless pursuit of the extraordinary has become the language through which she speaks. The Art Deco collection arrives now as an architectural meditation, drawing inspiration from New York’s soaring geometry and the clean, decisive lines that defined the era when the city reached toward the sky.
The earrings themselves embody that precision. Each one presents an octagon of polished black ceramic, cut with geometric clarity so absolute it borders on austere. Within this formal frame, a square cut fire opal glows with the amber depths of preserved flame, that particular luminosity that fire opals alone possess, as if they have captured sunlight and locked it inside. The diamonds that scatter across the top in their delicate gold setting feel like punctuation marks, bright declarative moments that catch the light as the stone warms with wear.
This is Furmanovich working within constraint, allowing meticulous handcraftsmanship and intricate details to speak louder than ornamentation. Using traditional techniques and an extraordinary mix of found artifacts and precious materials, Silvia Furmanovich transforms the unexpected into wearable art. In these earrings, the unexpected sits at the intersection of metal and ceramic, warmth and formality, the flicker of a gemstone set against the geometry of architecture.
