Whimsical and Grandiloquent Art<br />

Characterized by a unique style and precise designs where the combination <strong>of</strong> a matte-shine<br />

effect on gold, and meticulous craftsmanship make for exceptional jewelry pieces where gold<br />

and precious stones come to life.<br />

This collection is inspired by the embroidery, fabrics, and colors <strong>of</strong> Spain’s Golden Age. This<br />

touch <strong>of</strong> color and these brocades can be seen in pieces crafted in yellow or white gold with<br />

amethyst presented as grandiloquent and whimsical art.<br />

Jewelry with generous volumes and rich decoration where the characteristic and signature<br />

Carrera y Carrera matte-gloss effect can be appreciated. Refined and ornate pieces reflect the<br />

image-preoccupied culture that existed during this period.<br />

For Carrera y Carrera, its link to Spain is essential as a source <strong>of</strong> inspiration for the development<br />

<strong>of</strong> its collections. The entire creative and development process <strong>of</strong> each jewelry piece<br />

takes place wholly in the Madrid workshop. Each step in the creation <strong>of</strong> a piece is influenced<br />

by the Spanish character that has become one <strong>of</strong> the fundamental pillars in the evolution <strong>of</strong><br />

the company’s excellent trajectory throughout its history.<br />

Carrera y Carrera endures thanks to a standard <strong>of</strong> incalculable value – the savoir faire <strong>of</strong> the<br />

nearly 60 jewelers who work in its Madrid workshop, where tradition and the expertise <strong>of</strong><br />

master goldsmiths are joined together. It is here that each jewelry piece is crafted entirely by<br />

hand, giving each one a flawless grandeur.
