Luminous 27 is a fine jewellery studio founded in 2018, born in Venezuela and now based in Madrid. Rooted in our Latin American heritage and shaped by a European sensibility, our designs bring together architectural lines and organic forms. We reinterpret classic silhouettes through a contemporary lens, creating pieces that can be worn alone, stacked and combined. Each piece is handcrafted in Madrid in 18K gold, diamonds and natural stones hand-selected and carved in Jaipur, India.
Luminous 27 is led by mother and daughter Maria Margarita Toro and Isabella Benshimol. An architect by training, Maria Margarita brings an instinctive understanding of proportion, structure and form to the design process. Isabella, an artist and Creative Director, brings a contemporary perspective shaped by her background in fine art. Together, their different disciplines form the visual language of Luminous 27, connecting their Venezuelan heritage with their life and work in Madrid.
Each Luminous 27 piece is handcrafted in Madrid in close collaboration with a Venezuelan-founded and led atelier, with whom we have built a longstanding relationship. We work in small quantities and largely on demand, combining traditional jewellery techniques with contemporary processes. Our bespoke service extends this approach through one-of-a-kind pieces developed in close collaboration with each client, from the selection of stones and materials to the final design. Each commission brings the client’s vision together with the distinctive language of Luminous 27.
