Stephanie Wenk took the reins of the 80 year-old Brazilian jewelry empire when she joined as creative director in 2014. Honoring the vibrant gem-hunting history of the legacy brand, her stone-forward designs showcase rare and dazzling specimens encased in 18k recycled gold.
Sustainability is woven through Wenk’s choice of materials but also with philanthropic intentions through a tree-planting initiative and empowering the female talent behind the creation of the pieces. While tradition is valuable in jewelry-making, Wenk’s vision for a fair and low-footprint future is the driving force behind the brand’s success.
