Silvia Furmanovich was born in São Paulo, into a family of Italian goldsmiths. Her father was a goldsmith, and her great-grandfather created ecclesiastical pieces for the Vatican. She first launched her eponymous jewelry brand in 1998 as appointment-only before opening her boutique in 2009. Handmade in São Paulo, Furmanovich draws on Brazil's natural landscape and vibrant colors in her anthropologically inspired designs. She is known for her use of traditional, ancestral methods and incorporation of unusual materials. In 2022, she was invited by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to design a series of pieces for its Heirloom Project, which celebrated the work of craftsmen across the globe as part of the 10th anniversary of the Met’s reimagined Islamic Wing. She won Town & Country’s “Collection of the Year” jewelry award in 2018 and was nominated for the Jewelry Design Award at the Jewelers of America GEM Awards in 2019.
