The Luis Morais signature is all about "contrasting materials and twisted pieces" and that's exactly what we get with pieces combining skulls with diamonds, leather with pearls and ultimately dark with light. Morais. who was born in Londrina, Brazil says the spirituality that permeates the mentality of his home country is a big influence in his work. After exploring textiles for a while, he finally settled down in Miami where one accidental hunt for a bracelet, started off his career as a jeweller. Morais is ultimately concerned with using the most natural of ingredients and getting the most out of them so that the pieces don't end up looking raw or unfinished. The addition of materials like colourful cord and toy-like rubber does much to ensure Morais's jewellery will have a broader appeal beyond those who have a penchant for spirit-healing charms.
