Berao

Born in Madrid, he designed his first Collection betwween 1970 and 1975, and the Bloomingdale’s department store in New York purchased all of it. He opened retail points-of-sale in Spain, Italy and Japan. He doesn’t use semi-precious or precious stones and focuses on the plastic quality of the jewels.
