Milton Lorena
Lorena, San Paulo

As a graduate in human sciences, I’ve worked in the metallurgy
industry and studied in-depth the process for the manufacture of
metals and later worked with casting and electroplating in the
jewellery industry. Attending at the jewellery designer Renato
Camargos atelier I’ve learned many techniques in the creation of
handcrafted jewellery. I also use to work with computering graphics
in the jewellery design process, which led me to won the main award
in the Gold and Diamonds category for the 2006 Design de
JoiasdoBrasil.com". Still I also dedicate time to the restoration of
artistic metal pieces and sacred objects. Jewellery photos and 3d
