Carla Amorim, Brazilian spirit from mother nature to a a modern world
Carla Amorim is Brazilian and there is one interesting aspect of being from Brazil in jewelry: the fact that nature is an amazing inspiration and that there are many precious stones and metals coming from that country. It is an interesting combination for a jeweler.
How to describe Carla Amorim’s style? You need to understand the artist behind the brand. She was born in Brasilia, the country’s capital. This city, located in the middle of wild nature, became an architectural challenge and accomplishment of one of the greatest minds of modern times: Oscar Niemeyer. When you grow in a city like Brasilia, you get influenced by the surroundings. What did Carla Amorim keep from Niemeyer? The love of pure lines, the constant play between volume and lightness, and the obsession for perfection. Nature is definitely a great source of inspiration as well as her spirituality. This Brazilian philosophy will create a very original style that has been chosen by several people, celebrities or less famous, around the world. Diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, tourmalines, tanzanites, Brazilian gemstones, pearls, and 18 K gold in various tones are all explored to achieve the desired effect.
