XINGU

The Xingu was a source of inspiration. Roberto Stern's trip to the Amazon Forest of Brazil in search of tranquility served as the inspiration for one of the jeweler's most successful collections. Purãngaw, a word meaning beauty in the Tupi-Guarani language, pays homage to the cultural wealth of these native Brazilians, their traditions and their wondrous art. From this, jewels were created using small gold feathers that hearken back to traditional feather art, precious stones that represent polished seeds, and enamel work that remind us of the body painting techniques used by these native people.
