At first glance, this is a pretty clutch, right? But if you knew the craftsmanship and the story behind it…you would think, “This is a work of art that just happens to be disguised as an accessory.” Let me tell you a story…
Silvia Furmanovich was on an adventure in the Amazon and came across these amazing craftsman who gathered bark off the ground, carved them in intricate designs and turned them into art. Silvia loved their work…so much so…she built them a school so that they could have a viable, teachable trade and became their biggest client. She envisions the designs, they do the marquetry, use all vegetable dyes for the colors. Then the pieces are put together, embellished with gemstones and finished in São Paulo. 18K Yellow Gold Marquetry Clutch with Citrine (10.69ct) and Asian Flower Pattern.
