going out jewelry

This pendant necklace is perfect for a night out on the town. It features a slender bar of black onyx mostly surrounded by chips of cubic zirconia, hanging from a Venetian chain plated in 18K gold. This beauty is presented by Gemstone Jewelry of Southern Brazil, an organization dedicated to promoting the fine jewelry of this region.

Looking for out-of-the-box jewelry that truly stands out? Look no further than this extraordinary pendant necklace that boasts an exquisite marigold flower meticulously hand-dyed and hand-carved from recycled eucalyptus wood shavings. The hypnotic flower rests upon a delicate horn plate and is gracefully suspended from an adjustable cord intricately made of multiple strands of buriti palm fiber. Embrace the glamorous allure of this eco-friendly creation by Brazil’s Claudia Castelao enhanced by an 18k gold-plated bail, chain extender and clasp closure.

Brazilian artisan Anna Paula Vivacqua, who began her career as a visual artist, thinks of each piece of jewelry in her collection as tattoos made out of fine metals. She designs this pendant from 18k gold, featuring a simple, triangular design within a circle. Representative of the Virgin Mary from Christian traditions, the symbol is known as "Our Lady of Aparecida".

From Brazil's Mozeleski comes this band ring in golden, silver, and pink tones with a brushed satin finish. Two thin rings of 10K yellow gold start out united at the base of the ring. They slowly diverge and in the space created between them there is an encounter between two dragonflies; one sparkles in tones of 10K white gold and the other gleams in coral tints of 10K rose gold.

Artisan Claudia Castelao of Brazil handcrafts a unique pair of dangle earrings. The artisan carves an exquisite rose out of eucalyptus, dyed a lovely deep red. The wood rose hangs in front of a semi-circular polished piece of ox horn, which descend from an elegant vertical bar of 18k gold plated Zamak with a brushed-satin finish. The earring posts and backs are also of 18k gold plated Zamak.
