Whimsical and Grandiloquent Art
Characterized by a unique style and precise designs where the combination of a matte-shine
effect on gold, and meticulous craftsmanship make for exceptional jewelry pieces where gold
and precious stones come to life.
This collection is inspired by the embroidery, fabrics, and colors of Spain’s Golden Age. This
touch of color and these brocades can be seen in pieces crafted in yellow or white gold with
amethyst presented as grandiloquent and whimsical art.
Jewelry with generous volumes and rich decoration where the characteristic and signature
Carrera y Carrera matte-gloss effect can be appreciated. Refined and ornate pieces reflect the
image-preoccupied culture that existed during this period.
For Carrera y Carrera, its link to Spain is essential as a source of inspiration for the development
of its collections. The entire creative and development process of each jewelry piece
takes place wholly in the Madrid workshop. Each step in the creation of a piece is influenced
by the Spanish character that has become one of the fundamental pillars in the evolution of
the company’s excellent trajectory throughout its history.
Carrera y Carrera endures thanks to a standard of incalculable value – the savoir faire of the
nearly 60 jewelers who work in its Madrid workshop, where tradition and the expertise of
master goldsmiths are joined together. It is here that each jewelry piece is crafted entirely by
hand, giving each one a flawless grandeur.
