Federico de Vera is an arbiter of taste, as evidenced in his work as a jewelry designer; a gallery owner and most recently as the author of De Vera Objects and De Vera Jewelry. Federico seeks beauty in the most unlikely places. He travels the world to find things that, “have absolutely nothing wrong with them,” a task that “is far more difficult than finding something that’s simply beautiful.” He constantly strives to find new lives for old things that have been discarded, and reinterprets them from a different point of view. Today his pieces are comprised of antique elements, often simultaneously organic and baroque…each unique and one of a kind.
