Vanessa Fernandez

Vanessa Fernández pieces — bold, feminine and colorful — are envisioned as both sculpture and ornament, with a focus on engaging with rare and precious gemstones and challenging traditional goldsmithing techniques. From her studio in Miami, Vanessa designs and renders, sculpts wax models, alloys pure with a custom alloy, casts, finishes and crafts her pieces entirely by hand. “My goal is to design jewelry that appears effortless, regardless of the control and precision they demand when sculpting,” says Vanessa. "I am continually inspired by the seductive power of the female form and fluidity of gold as a material.”
