Antonio Bernardo is both a designer and a jeweller. He became familiar with the tools of the goldsmith from an early age in his father’s store. Thirty years later and his name is now a brand. Antonio Bernardo involves himself in every step of the process of creating each piece of jewellery, and in doing so breaks the boundaries separating the designer from the craftsman. The nature of the metal itself, both pliable and resistant, guides his designs, giving birth to jewellery with light, sensual lines that match the body of the wearer. Antonio Bernardo’s creations can be found in his seventeen stores in Brazil, located in the main cities of the country. His collection can also be found in jewellery stores in Germany, Spain, France, Switzerland, England, Italy, USA, Hong Kong and Japan.
