MEET SYLVA
A little about me. My graduate studies focused on language. Early on I had an interest in becoming a fashion designer, and still do love fashion. Coming from a lineage of jewelry craftsmen, my sights turned to jewelry design. I’ve combined my love of language and fashion into designing pieces that tell a story.
My passion is designing jewelry as art. I’m intrigued by combining history with the present, hand selecting and creating unique arrangements of stones and elements. The mystery of not knowing who will finally be treasuring the finished work.
WHAT INSPIRES ME…
A FREEDOM IN DESIGN
“I approach my work as a fusion of historical reference and future-forward vision. I’m fortunate to not be bound by the confines of traditional symmetry, as I allow my designs to evolve with an organic sensibility. I combine diverse gemstones with varying cuts, arranged in non-traditional patterns, with the intention of creating jewelry that transcends mere adornment. To me, the asymmetric arrangements and the balance in the pieces evokes a sense of timeless elegance. Meant to be more than accessories — these are creations that invite the wearer into a dialogue with both the past and the future.”
THE VINTAGE AND THE RARE
“I am always energized when I discover rare vintage stones that have a lineage and pedigree of their own. Gems that come from extinct mines or the last of a collection of materials left on this earth. These are distinct items that go beyond the precious. Hand-cut diamonds and gems, not heat treated but left in their natural state. Truly ‘raw’ materials. Each have a unique story and I am honored to be able to give them a new life.”
THE EXPRESSION OF JEWELRY
Jewelry today transcends its historical role as mere adornment reserved for special occasions; it has evolved into a profound expression of personal style and identity.
“For me jewelry is not merely an accessory but a personal narrative — a symbol of the wearer’s unique journey and aspirations. Each item she selects is a reflection of her individuality, a testament to her unique sense of self. Her deliberate choices create a connection that goes beyond aesthetics, offering a daily lift and a constant reminder of her own beauty and strength. As she develops her collection, she does so with an understanding of timeless design and a keen awareness of what resonates with her personally. Her jewelry becomes an outward manifestation of her inner self, creating a statement that is both intimate and visible.”
