Brazilian jewellery designer Ana Khouri on her artful approach to design.

-

DREAM BIG “I studied art before I went on to study jewellery. In art, everything is possible because it doesn’t have to make sense. It taught me to think about what I want my jewellery to say and put functional­ity second.”

BODY OF WORK “I want my designs to enhance the form of the wearer. It’s not just about embellishm­ent.” FREE-FOR- ALL “I think that jewellery is having a free moment. Of course, there’s a choker moment, and a hugeearrin­g moment, but now it’s about the girl who never wanted to wear [traditiona­l] jewellery.” FAN CLUB “Jennifer Lawrence wears our jewellery a lot; she really embodies the Ana Khouri woman and the simplicity of being true to oneself. When celebritie­s understand [my] work and want to wear it, it’s really special.” (From $826, at Archives, archiveslt­d.com)
