inspiration

We take our artistic inspiration from the earth and sea, from the old world and the new.  Both raw and exquisitely crafted elements give life to our creations. Our design process starts with our diverse treasure chest of ever-expanding resources.  These materials fuel our passionate creative flow.

Each element, from sustainable freshwater pearls and precious stones to re-purposed vintage elements and found objects, is our muse, and is approached with humility and understanding. This process leads to FULVA FUSCA’s unusual designs including challenging juxtapositions of old and new, rough and refined, classic and modern that do not play to obvious symmetry or expectations . Our designs fluidly combine heterogeneous shapes, symmetries and color combinations, taking our jewelry beyond simple adornment, creating our unique aesthetic and balance.

There is a creative precision that goes into each and every one of our pieces, which are hand-assembled in the USA by local artisans, using age-old techniques. No detail is too small.

We draw upon the protective, symbolic, spiritual, historic, and artistic energies of each element along with their chromatic balance and visual harmony to create pieces that don’t dictate how they are worn, instead they transcend fashions and trends to become one with your individual style. Jewelry that can traverse day and night, carrying you from business lunches to galas or vacations, wearable art.
