Luis, Luis!
Luis Morais, a jewelry designer born in Brazil and based in Miami, knows a thing or two about sexy yet earthy style.
Luis Morais entered the world of high-end luxury jewelry in 2000 when he saw a bracelet in a magazine that he wanted but could not get. He decided at that point he would create the piece for himself, which soon led to friends requesting similar pieces. And so, the story goes, the collection grew from there as boutique owners discovered the designer for themselves and began requesting his jewelry for their stores.
His style is one that blends contrasts: dark and light, skulls and diamonds, brashness and elegance. Whether piled high on your arm, or layered delicately with one strand, Luis Morais’ most popular styles are his beaded bracelets and necklaces. Made from precious metals, stones and exotic materials like sandalwood, Brazilian ebony, woven hemp, crocodile and lizard skins, these handcrafted pieces are true luxury made for the earth mother at heart. But they serve the inner pop diva as well – rosaries, Italian horns and scapulars are just a few of the religious icons that are transformed by Morais into trendy pieces of pop culture.
