Based in São Paulo, Brazil, Vera Monfort has long been fascinated by stones, and she uses raw materials ranging from gems to volcanic lava to create her jewelry. The minerals are precisely supported by noble metals: gold and silver. Devoted to the study of art, Monfort has turned traveling into a search for unusual stones. She has deep respect for the materials she chooses: she values the recesses, obeys the overhangs, underlines the veins, differentiates the colors, and highlights the volume of the gems, resulting in unique and daring forms.
