Once I had a dream. I dreamed up a collection that would tell the history of the most important forest in the world and portray its unique beauty. This forest, Amazonia, happens to be in my native country, Brazil. I put my heart and soul into this collection. I wanted to create pieces of jewelry that would encapsulate the life and beauty of the Amazon, allowing you to experience the lush vegetation and heartbeat of the forest, and let you see the animals in their own habitat. Dolphins are generally considered sweet, innocent, and playful. You can watch dolphins play off the shoreline in Sao Paulo, and it nearly always evokes positive emotions. I chose the Pink Dolphin, which actually comes from the Amazon River, as a strong symbol of the harmony between the mind and soul. This particular freshwater Dolphin is a subtle reminder that you can always find the unexpected if you're open to new things. As I created this beautiful piece, I wanted to provide a small reminder to stop and enjoy life in the moment. A reminder to be open to new possibilities. And a reminder that intelligence, fun, and freedom are all around us. Three years ago, the Amazon was engulfed by devastating fires. That's when I felt compelled to do something. My heart was hurting, and I couldn't sleep, thinking about how mankind could inflict such damage on Mother Nature's most bio-diverse land. This collection means so much to me. I'm donating 10% of the proceeds directly to the Rainforest Trust, where funds are used where they're needed most, directly on the grounds of the Rain Forest.
