Art Jewelry by Grazia Fortuna Ward

Venice-born artist Grazia Fortuna Ward brings a lifelong dedication to creativity, craftsmanship, and material exploration to her distinctive jewelry collections. Trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Italy, she began her artistic career creating projects for the Guggenheim Foundation in Venice before expanding her practice into painting, interior design, and ultimately wearable art.

Drawing inspiration from the natural world and the transformative qualities of materials, Ward creates handcrafted pieces that blur the boundaries between fine art and adornment. Many of her jewelry designs evolve directly from her paintings, sharing the same textures, pigments, and materials—including gold leaf, porcelain powder, and organic elements. Each piece is handmade in Italy and reflects her belief that art should be lived with, experienced, and worn.
