THE ARTIST

With an enormous passion for Art in all its forms and shaped by her training in the areas of Design, Engraving and Sculpture, Daniela finds in Jewellery the freedom to create the works of art that she herself wanted to wear.

The human body, nature and the imperfection and rawness of things are the main inspirations of the observant and attentive Daniela.

 

THE BRAND

The Daniela Silvestre brand is the translation of Daniela's artistic exploration and her fascination with anatomy and the organic.

Our pieces embrace the Japanese wabi-sabi ideology, they love and respect the bodies they inhabit, they are simple, artistic, comfortable, delicate and perfect in their own imperfection. We believe that it is these natural imperfections, characteristic of manual work, that give authenticity and meaning to any work of art.

At Daniela Silvestre, all pieces are produced through manual and traditional jewellery processes and in small quantities, in our workshop in Porto.
