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. I find that frogs are often misunderstood. While they can have both positive and negative associations, the underlying message is generally about honesty and discovering the hidden beauty within. I chose the Poison Dart Frog as a symbol of change, fertility, or prosperity. Despite the common misunderstandings, the frog is genuinely a sign of good luck and makes a good totem for anyone. As I created the Poison Dart Frog icon, I was thinking about how we can all use a little more positivity in our everyday lives. 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.
