Fernando Jorge Debuts Armour Jewellery Collection at PAD London
At the PAD London fair, Fernando Jorge unveiled his new jewellery collection named Armour, featuring earrings, a cuff bracelet, and an eye-catching necklace. A native of Brazil, Jorge began his brand in London in 2011 after completing his studies at Central Saint Martins. The Armour line showcases materials like brown diamonds, polished smoky quartz, rich black ebony, Brazilian Preciosa wood, light-toned tagua seed, and yellow gold. The designs draw inspiration from shield shapes, akin to almonds or leaves, and also reflect the marquise cut seen in jewellery. They echo the vesica piscis from sacred geometry, symbolizing protection and duality, balancing nature's fragility with artificial strength.
