Biography

Growing up in Campinas, Brazil, [2] he was passionate about drawing from an early age.

In 2012, Stephen Webster selected Jorge as one of ten fine jewellery designers to showcase their AW12 collection at the British Fashion Council Rock Vault initiative. [7] Similarly in 2014, Jorge was sponsored by Rock Vault to showcase his SS15 collection in the Designer Showrooms during the 2014 London Fashion Week. [8] As part of the sponsorship, Jorge made his first showcase at the Couture Show, in Las Vegas, winning the Couture Design award for best coloured gems for under $20,000 category. [9]
