CARLA SCHIAPPA

In 2016, I left my hometown, Lisbon, to start a new life in Madrid, driven by a deep passion for jewellery. I stepped away from my previous profession to embark on a creative journey that allowed me to express my vision through unique and timeless pieces.

I trained at the Centro de Estudios de Joyería in Madrid, completing a three-year programme in jewellery and design. To further enhance my expertise, I pursued a diploma in diamonds at the Spanish Gemological Institute (IGE). This path led me to discover my true purpose: creating designer jewellery where each piece transcends its decorative function to become a wearable work of art.

My aim is to design jewellery that deeply connects with those who wear it—unique pieces imbued with personality and elegance, crafted to enhance the individuality of every person.

ABOUT ME AND MY WORK

I embrace elegance with purpose and create jewelry that is as meaningful as it is luxurious.

I am a passionate artisan jeweler with a deep love for diamonds and gemstones, crafting unique, original, and custom jewelry pieces that blend precious metals with a variety of gems, reflecting my personality and view of the world.

My mission is to redefine luxury in jewelry by creating artisan pieces that are of exceptional design and unique or in very limited numbers. 

One phrase that inspires me every day is: “A piece of jewelry should also be a piece of art.”
