Living in Switzerland and spending a lot of time in Brazil combines two so very different ways of life. For Gabriella Harmann, a jewellery designer born and raised in Zürich, having spent many years in Geneva and now living most of the time in Rio de Janeiro, this contrast detonates a great creative force.

Her jewellery is meticulously designed and constructed, exuberant, colourful and feminine
She loves Brazilian stones and mixes them in a debonair way. It is not necessarily the perfection of the stone that attracts her eye but rather the colour, the shape, even an inclusion.

This choice also has an economical dimension – no need to only consider the most expensive stones. A piece of jewellery should not just be a status symbol but give the owner this sensual pleasure of wearing ‘the ring that goes with my mood – tomorrow is a different day..’ Pink gold is her favourite at the moment, but every new collection brings new vistas and declinations.
