- ARS GEA is integrated by:
- Liliana Di Lorenzo (designer)
- Daniel Schwed (engineer)
- both former members of R. Zina Fernández master silversmith workshop "El Taller"
ARS
GEA studio designs and manufactures jewelry intending to contribute
to the revalorization of Uruguayan semiprecious stones. With this
aim we combine metallic mountings and natural stones, so as to remark
the form, color and natural attributes of the pieces.
We
wish to regain the value of the jewel as amulet related to
the mythical aspects of the stones, capable of protecting
and giving energy to the one that wears it.
These
jewelry pieces are hand-crafted with the aid of simple technology.
They are made of amethysts, agate, quartz, 925 silver, aluminum
and other ad-hoc materials.
