Feathered Jewellery - Paulo Segatto Brazilian Designs (GALLERY)

Brazilian designer Paulo Segatto has created these fabulous silver rings, pendants and bracelets adorned with elegant white feathers.

The inspiration for these pieces may have come from the magnificent feathered costumes in Rio de Janeiro during the Brazilian Carnival.

“After all, I’m Brazilian and all the colors, mixes and diversification of my country influence and appear in my work,” Segatto said.

I imagine being able to interchange the feathers in different colours, imagine red or black feathers. The designer explains he often initially visualizes his designs in large sculptural form and then has to ‘resize’ the works to fit the smaller jewellery pieces.
