Jaguar Icon Pendant/Charm

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.

As a creative soul, I was drawn to the predatorial power and majestic beauty of the Jaguar. I chose this animal as a symbol of protection. As I created the design and selected the materials, I wanted to strike a balance that celebrates confident, strong-willed individuals. But I also wanted to highlight their humanity, incorporating a subtle vein of sensitivity and beauty borrowed from the feline family. My Jaguar pendant is a perfect choice for a strong woman who also needs reminding that she is a delicate balance of strength and beauty.

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.
