Bruna Pegurier is a jewelry designer from Crateus in Ceará, a small village in northeast Brazil, currently living in Rio de Janeiro. Starting out as a fashion designer, Pegurier found herself drawn to ceramics as a new means to express herself besides fabrics. ”I never thought I’d make jewelry, but I sure wasn’t going to make jars and plates either,” Pegurier tells LOS GATOS “I was there to play with the clay and follow my innermost self and to create ornaments that could be worn or even hung in a wall, like mini sculptures, I never thought of it as merchandise or that I’d make money from off of this work, it was more of a statement and a challenging medium.” Pegurier adds. Recently the creamy handmade off white ceramic pieces, abstract and simple in nature, have gained a lot of interest from various fashion brands.
