In a radiant merger of high fashion and philanthropy, the Education Above All (EAA) Foundation and the illustrious Brazilian designer Silvia Furmanovich have launched an exclusive and enchanting jewellery collection at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition (DJWE) 2024.
The fashion-forward line is as much a statement of fashion as it is a commitment to philanthropy. Elegance and empathy are woven into each intricate design, where embroidered natural leaves and wood marquetry meet the lustre of gemstones and diamonds. The collection, is available subsequently at Furmanovich’s stores and the iconic Bergdorf Goodman in New York, epitomises a harmonious melding of cultural homage and the pinnacle of luxury.
The alliance between EAA and Furmanovich was a dazzling display of fashion’s power to foster change. A substantial portion of the proceeds from this opulent collection advanced EAA’s mission to provide quality education to the world’s most underprivileged children.
“We are pleased to be collaborating with Silvia Furmanovich, a jeweller and designer known for her artful work and commitment to sustainability,” said Taj Sulaiman, EAA’s Director of Communication and Private Sector Partnerships. “This partnership not only showcases the beauty of unique, handcrafted jewellery but also underscores our joint commitment to offering out-of-school children access to quality education. Together, we aim to make a lasting impact on education initiatives in the most marginalised communities, creating a brighter future and fostering positive change.”
Silvia Furmanovich’s brand is a testament to her advocacy for indigenous craftsmanship and sustainable luxury. Each piece in this exclusive collection carries the distinct insignia “Silvia Furmanovich for Education Above All,” symbolising the powerful alliance between the world of fashion and the noble cause of global education.

Since launching her brand over 20 years ago, Silvia Furmanovich has become one of the most visionary artists working in fine jewellery today.
Furmanovich’s daring designs combine her meticulous attention to detail with her wide-ranging passions for innovative craftsmanship, the natural world, ancient cultures and unusual materials. And while her lifelong love of travel has informed many of her collections, her interpretation of those cultures – from Egypt to Japan – is rarely straightforward. Employing a unique alchemy of found artefacts, traditional techniques and materials both humble and precious, the designer creates wearable art that feels timeless and one-of-a-kind.
Furmanovich Jewelry, with its headquarters in Brazil, enjoys a global presence, featuring its exquisite jewellery in distinguished stockists including Bergdorf Goodman in New York, Asprey in the UK, and prominent online retailers like NET-A-PORTER.
