There's nothing more exciting for us here at I. Gorman Jewelers than sharing the work of our favorite jewelry designers with friends and customers from DC and beyond. Sure, it's a blast to walk in the door and dive straight into the fabulous world of fashion jewelry, hand crafted in places a distant as South America and Europe--but have you ever wondered how such an exceptional collection of jewelry comes to be?
Did you know that the store's founders, Ivan and Bonnie Gorman, actually take the time every year to travel across the globe, exploring bustling city avenues and quaint village streets alike, in search of that perfect new designer to compliment their current selection? It may sound glamorous, but that's all part of the job when it comes to running DC's hippest designer oriented jewelry destination!
But don't take my word for it, come in and see for yourself. Ivan and Bonnie may well be on hand to work with you personally, and don't be surprised if they introduce you to the designs of Antonio Bernardo and Enric Majoral, two of the coolest new fashion jewelry designers to grace the cases at I. Gorman's!
Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Antonio Berndardo is, without a doubt, one of Brazil's most innovative and gifted fine jewelry designers. With German heritage and Swiss goldsmith training, Bernardo has carved a niche for himself by creating an award winning collection of visually and intellectually stimulating designs in 18kt gold and silver.
Bernardo's work portrays a type of geometrical genius that most artists could only dream of, allowing him to explore a diversity of striking forms that are rarely captured in jewelry. No stranger to fun and fashion forward, this playful 18kt white gold cocktail ring sports a dazzling quartet of bezel set violet amethysts.
From picturesque Formentera Island in Catalonia, Spain Enric Majoral captures the colors, shapes and natural life forms that surround him, creating jewelry with movement and artistry that seems to take on a life of its own. Favoring 18kt gold and oxidized silver to achieve a refreshingly organic color palette, Majoral draws upon the beauty of organic lines and shapes in a way that is deliberate, yet unexpected.
Majoral's honest craftsmanship and ability to capture the essence of natural forms is clear in this charming 18kt yellow gold and diamond bracelet, which reflects the simple reality of life on a beautiful Mediterranean island.
Don't miss your perfect chance to check out the beautiful designs of Antonio Bernardo and Enric Majoral at I. Gorman Jewelers' Annual Designer Showcase, Friday, December 3rd and Saturday, December 4th.
