MORITZ GLIK

DEEPLY INSPIRED BY CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE AND FINE ART , NEW YORK-BASED JEWELRY DESIGNER MORITZ GLIK BLENDS TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE WITH A PLAYFUL , AVANT-GARDE SENSIBILITY. HIS WORK IS COMPRISED OF HANDCRAFTED ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES , EACH BEARING THE IMPRINT OF GLIK ’ S ENERGETIC PURSUIT OF CREATIVE SINGULARITY. WITH EVERY NEW COLLECTION MORITZ INTENSIFIES HIS DESIRE TO INNOVATE, CREATING PIECES THAT ARE FRESH YET TIMELESS.

GLIK STARTED ON HIS CREATIVE PATH AT A VERY YOUNG AGE BACK IN HIS NATIVE BELO HORIZONTE, BRAZIL, WHERE HIS ENTREPRENEURIAL VEIN EMERGED YEARS BEFORE EARNING HIS BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN MARKETING AND ADVERTISING. HIS PASSION FOR FASHION AND HANDCRAFTING FIRST MANIFESTED IN SHOE DESIGN. DESPITE THE SUCCESS OF HIS FOOTWEAR FACTORY, THE PROVINCIAL ENVIRONMENT OF HIS HOMETOWN PUSHED HIM TO SEEK OUT HIS OWN IDENTITY ELSEWHERE. IN 1991, MORITZ ARRIVED IN NEW YORK AND IMMEDIATELY DISCOVERED HIS TRUE LOVE FOR THE MESMERIZING EFFECT OF GEMSTONES AND PRECIOUS METALS. OVER THE YEARS , MORITZ HAS TRAVELED THE WORLD TO PRODUCE AND SHOW HIS WORK, HONING HIS EXPERTISE AS A MASTER BENCH JEWELER AND REFRESHING HIS VIEWS ON AESTHETICS AND BEAUTY.
