About Larissa Moraes
I grew up in colorful household filled with art history books, canvases and brushes. Being the daughter of a struggling artist, I sought refuge in the pursuit of a stable career in law. After studying law, I started working as a legal aide in Brazil´s Senate and the federal government in Brasilia, Brazil´s capital. After years of exposure to heavy state bureaucracy, I realized that my heart was not where my work was and strived to find other employment opportunities where I could satisfy my creative desires. A friend of mine introduced me to the jewelry world and it was love at first sight. I initially started drawing and designing after I would return home from work…

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Handmade necklace made with the best raw material : gold 18k and natural gemstones.. The diversity of the flowers is represented in the gemstones’ different hues and colors. Delicate carvings in the gold represent the leaves’ midrib and veins. Nature’s asymmetry and balance can be seen in the jewels’ delicate contours making it both bold and striking to the human eye.
- Inspiration
- Vase with Gladioli Vincent van Gogh Date: 1886; Paris, France Style: Post-Impressionism Genre: flower painting Media: oil, canvas Location: Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Research
- After extensive research on Van Gogh's paintings (there are almost 2000 works), the painting was chosen that would be the inspiration for the design. Then research was carried out on the painted tree (understanding of what the painter saw to be inspired). Realized the ideal design of the piece and choice of the ideal materials for execution.
- Challenge
- This is a jewel full of details: lines that scratch the metal, imitating the grooves of the leaves. There are galleries all over the necklace to hide the links that give IT a trim. But the big challenges were controlling the colors (a rare combination of salmon pink, intense red and light yellow) and balancing such an asymmetrical design, where harmony and beauty are perceived even without symmetry.
- Realization and Technology
- Handmade, matte finish and bezel setting. Gold 18K; Light Citrine 19,90CT; Ruby 3,90CT; Morganite 10,65CT.
- Operation and Interaction
- Lightweight Confortable Perfect ergonomics Durable Bold Unforgettable Gorgeous
