Silvia Furmanovich is a celebrated fine jewelry designer known for transforming materials and traditions into wearable works of art. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, she descends from a family of Italian goldsmiths; her great-grandfather created ornaments for the Vatican, and her father was a goldsmith. She launched her namesake brand in 1998 and continues to work from her São Paulo atelier alongside her three sons.

Her work combines marquetry, lacquer, miniature painting, and organic materials such as bamboo, silk, and wood with precious gemstones. Each piece reflects a deep respect for craftsmanship and cultural exchange, shaped through collaborations with artisans from Brazil, Japan, Uzbekistan, and India. She has also partnered with The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Renowned for her originality and craftsmanship, Furmanovich has received four Couture Design Awards and a 2019 GEM Awards nomination. Her creative vision continues to evolve, exemplified by her 2023 homeware collaboration with Asprey. Furmanovich’s pieces are held in the permanent collections of The Hispanic Society Museum & Library in New York and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
