Leonor Silva Jewellery

Leonor Silva is a Portuguese jewellery author. Takes from her social worries to design and create innovative and contemporary pieces that carry a strong message not only to those who wear them but also directed to those that merely observe.

With a History degree and a master in Archeology her love for jewellery drifts from the times where in excavations she was dazzled by artifacts. "Since the beginning of times adornments are worn by mankind. It is transversal to our existence".
Since 2014, and after a degree in Author Jewellery, in Centro de Joalharia de Lisboa, the designer allies traditional methods and techiniques to a creative interpretation of life, generating jewellery hits. WITH A STRONG ARTISTIC LANGUAGE, SHE USES HUMOR AND IRONY TO INTERPRET WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND HER. The result are jewels that, apart from being beautiful and sexy, are distinguished from all the others by the strength of their messages.
