In lieu of the 2014 World Cup, I am excited to
share with my readers a few special commemorative collection of biojóias
designed by Glória Erthal Jóias da Natureza (Jewels of Nature).
The new pieces are referred to as biojóias or
bio-jewelry, because they, like the many other works in the brand’s unique
line, are made from delicate leaves and seeds harvested from the Brazilian soil
that have been dehydrated then combined, by hand, with precious metals, including
gold, platinum and copper to draw out their natural intricate textures. It is a
delicate and slow process.
The pieces include famous Rio landmarks
represented in the collection include; a Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer)
pendant; a Pão de Açucar (Sugar Loaf) pendant, and earrings and a pendant
featuring the Calçade de Copacabana (the famous patterned sidewalks of
Copacabana designed by Roberto Burle Marx).
The Glória Erthal Joias da Natureza jewelry
line was created over a year and a half ago by entrepreneurs and designers
Glória Erthal and Ana Lucia Chebabe. With a focus on nature and women’s fashion
accessories, the two developed the jewelry line in the hopes of making a
difference in the market through the sustainable production of timeless and
original pieces.
