In the world of contemporary jewellery, Camila Weirich, the founder of Sal Jewellery stands as a beacon of creativity and craftsmanship. With her roots in the renowned Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the University of Arts London, Camila has spent over a decade shaping her unique design philosophy. Her journey, which began in 2011 with various fashion projects, reached a new milestone in 2023 with the official opening of her studio in Berlin. Collaborating with acclaimed goldsmiths, designers, and gemstone cutters, Camila continues to push boundaries in jewellery design.
This dedication to innovation was honoured at the 2024 Milan Jewellery Week, where Harper’s Bazaar Italia awarded her the Milan Jewellery Award. Presented by Multimedia Director Italo Pantano, this recognition celebrated Camila’s ability to merge tradition with a visionary approach. Below, we explore two remarkable pieces that embody her artistic signature;
The Statement Earrings
Camila’s Statement Earrings are a masterpiece of modern elegance, crafted from 16 grams of 18k gold. Inspired by Brazilian modernist landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx, these earrings are a sculptural celebration of volume and line. The fluid curves and sleek form capture the essence of Marx’s work, resulting in earrings that exude sophistication while maintaining a sense of natural grace.
The earrings’ ability to showcase brilliant-cut and baguette-cut stones enhances their allure, transforming them into a luminous accessory. As the wearer moves, the earrings catch and reflect light subtly, illuminating the face and accentuating natural features. These Statement Earrings are more than an accessory; they are an embodiment of effortless sophistication, perfect for those seeking an iconic piece that defines their style.

The Sculpted Rings
The Sculpted Rings are another of Camila’s standout creations, weighing in at 8 grams of 18k gold and featuring a hand-sculpted gemstone. This piece offers the wearer a choice of stones, each evoking a distinct mood and atmosphere. The transparent crystal captures the serene beauty of sunrise by the beach, with reflections that dance in the sunlight. The black onyx, in contrast, evokes the mystery of moonlight, casting shadows that hint at strength and depth.
These rings invite interaction. Their substantial volume encourages the wearer to move their hands with a new awareness, subtly enhancing confidence and presence. The curves and contours dynamically reflect light and shadow, emphasizing the piece’s ability to shift and change as naturally as the elements themselves.
