Silvia Furmanovich channels Art Deco geometry in lustrous gold
A new collection celebrates the geometric precision and ornamental richness of the Art Deco era, rendered in gold across every warm and luminous shade. Each piece marries architectural rigour with the jeweller's intimate understanding of craft and colour.

Gold becomes a study in tonal possibility in Silvia Furmanovich’s new Art Deco collection, each alloy singing a different note across the jeweller’s palette. The metal catches light differently depending on its warmth and composition, creating a conversation between pieces that might sit beside one another on the skin or the body. What emerges is not a collection of individual jewels but rather a meditation on how precious material can shift and speak through deliberate variation.
The earrings in enchapado de tamo, that most refined of techniques where straw marquetry meets precious metal, represent the collection’s architectural philosophy. Art Deco’s fascination with geometry and symmetry finds its fullest expression in this pairing of material and making. Citrine stones warm against the gold, their honey tones creating depth and dimension, while diamonds anchor each design with their crystalline precision. The interplay between the faceted gemstones and the textural surface created by the straw marquetry technique speaks to the era’s obsession with contrasts: smooth and patterned, transparent and opaque, warm and brilliantly cool.
What distinguishes this collection is Silvia Furmanovich’s understanding that Art Deco was never merely about surface decoration. The movement demanded that form follow function while elevating the everyday object to something approaching art. Her interpretation honours that philosophy, treating each piece as though it were conceived not for a single wrist or ear but as part of a considered interior, a complete vision of how luxury should present itself to the world.
The collection emerges from a jeweller schooled in the traditions of Colombian craftsmanship, where the relationship between maker and material runs deep and generational. That heritage shapes how Furmanovich approaches gold, not as a given but as something to be understood, questioned and ultimately transformed through technique. The result is jewellery that feels both of a particular moment in design history and entirely contemporary in its refusal to be anything less than exquisitely considered.
