Description:
How fitting that one of Brazil’s most successful international jewelers counts among her inspirations such national treasures as Bossa Nova, her country’s flora and fauna, and the architecture of Oscar Niemeyer, who designed the famous urban planning layout of Carla Amorim’s hometown of Brasilia. Typically made of brushed gold and Brazilian gems, her pieces tend to be big enough to make a statement while being elegant at the same time, and you’ll find them on the ears, necks and fingers of the chicest women in São Paolo and Rio. In addition to her Rua Oscar Freire shop, Amorim has a second boutique in SP’s upscale Shopping Iguatemi center, and her line is also sold at Bergdorf Goodman in New York as well as some other select global boutiques.
