About Camilla Marcondes
I was born in the architectural scene, profession of my parents, but graduated in Industrial Design. I ventured in the areas of decoration, landscaping and floral design, to meet the world of jewelry, not by chance, but by a personal need of great pieces, with a differentiated design. At that time, it was already possible to find jewelry (gold) signed by big contemporary designers, but costume jewelry however, only the trinket of popular markets and the full of artificial gems and brilliance, unsuccessfully, imitated jewelry. Therefore, I began designing and making my own pieces. Registered myself at basic and advanced jewelry courses.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Wrinkled is a collection of a bracelet and earrings made in two-tones crumpled metal. The scratched finish gives a rough touch to the contemporary jewelry collection. Although made of metal, both the bracelet and earrings are very light due to the thin stainless steel and brass sheets on which the two pieces of jewelry are made.
- Inspiration
- The concept used to create the collection was the rusticity of the crumpled metals and rough finishing, breaking up with the delicacy and the preciousness of the traditional jewelry.
- Research
- The research was about the metal scraps threw away in junkyards that could turn into jewelry.
- Challenge
- The challenge faced in designing the collection was to join two different metals. Stainless steel has a much higher melting temperature than brass, so soldering these materials was discarded. The solution found was to join the two metal sheets with mini rivets, which contributes strongly to the rustic appearance of the collection.
- Realization and Technology
- The jewelry collection was handmade using brass and stainless steel in overlapping sheets. The brass sheet was bended using pliers and both metal sheets were joined together with mini rivets. The pieces os jewelry have brushed finishing and a thin matte varnish to avoid tarnishing.
- Operation and Interaction
- The collection consists in a bracelet and earrings. The designs were conceived to be used as Statement Jewelry.
- Project Duration and Location
- The collection was conceived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2013.
- Specifications
- Both pieces of jewelry were made of stainless steel and brass sheets. Bracelet Dimensions: Width 66 mm x Depth 55 mm x Height 60 mm, Weight: 90g Earrings Dimensions: Width 45 mm x Depth 0.4 mm x Height 60 mm, Weight: 15g
