About
Cyntia Tomi
“I love the Bauhaus architecture and design. My inspiration for the new designs come from many sources – objects, architecture, geometrical shapes, fashion, and art works,” she explains. “I always try to find balance in the geometric shapes in my work. Gemstones are usually just the detail on the piece adding to the contrast on the material.”
Cyntia Tomiis the author of exclusive jewellery designs, and her main challenge is to find harmony in the form of each piece so they transmit “lightness”, despite the material used.
Story
She enrolled at the Le Arti Orafe Institute in Florence Italy in 2000. “I particularly loved the lessons on jewelry history and the classes where we were encouraged to create our own pieces. Geometry was very challenging; I had a hard time picturing the objects in 3D,” Cyntia launched her namesake jewelry brand in 2017.
Fences, her debut collection, saw her employ parallel lines connected by gemstones. This she felt would make the pieces look bigger without using a lot of gold. “I searched for “modern fences” on the internet and found so many beautiful and different shapes,” says Cyntia, who used gemstones like agate in various colours, rubellite and small diamonds in the line.
Modern-day Creations
Influenced by two diverse cultures – distinct architecture of Brazil and stark minimalism that defines Japanese aesthetics.
Cyntia Tomi’s ruminations in gold and silver are informed by her Japanese roots. Minimalism and geometry meld with architectural inspirations from the city she grew up in – Brasília.
