The creations of Antonio Bernardo show an artistic restlessness while also representing the best of contemporary design. His works are a mixture of tradition and vanguardism, combining what is best in the artisanal and industrial process of jewelry making which come together to create sculpture-like objects. The designer opened his first store in 1981, in Shopping da Gávea, in Rio’s South Zone, later expanding his business after it started to take off. The Ipanema branch, besides selling jewelry made of different material also has a safe open for visitors. The tour of the safe is available during the store’s working hours.
