Thais Bernardes, the jewels of Brazil that have a little bit of Italy ♦ ︎

There are many Brazilian citizens of Italian origin. But there are also designers who simply take an example from Italians, those who work in jewelry. This is the case of Thais Bernardes, who says: “I learned from the Italians to value details and invest in quality. My jewels follow a contemporary style for women who want, at the same time, to dictate fashion with elegance and lightness “.

The founder of the brand that has her name, among other things, was born and grew up in Minas Gerais, the place that is the largest producer of natural gemstones among the Brazilian states.

And growing in contact with the stones for jewelry gave her a decisive imprinting. Although she started her career as a model. Then, however, she studied gemology and jewelry design, with a specialization in Fashion Brand Management in Milan. Finally, in 2015 she founded the brand Thais Bernardes, now also at VicenzaOro September. Her jewels are all made of silver, gold and precious and semi-precious stones, “where the Italian workforce combined with the Brazilian tradition creates inimitable objects”.

Jewels to help Brazilian hospitals besieged by covid: this is the initiative of jewelry designer Thais Bernardes, who offers the public two of her creations: the Amor medal (in rhodium-plated 925 silver) from the Palavras collection, and the Dreamcatcher necklace (in 925 silver and 925 gold plated silver). Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Brazilian Red Cross, to support it in the purchase of respirators for hospitals in the north-east of the country, one of the regions most affected by the virus.

In this very difficult moment, in the midst of the health crisis that is going through my country, I thought it was my duty to help in some way, to lend a hand. The situation of public hospitals in Brazil is chaotic, and in my small way, I want to make my contribution in this fight against covid-19.

From the Amazon to Thais Bernardes

The Amazonian lianas inspire the new collection of Thais Bernardes ♦ ︎

Thais Bernardes, from fashion shows on catwalks to colored pencils on a desk. The former Brazilian model has reinvented herself as a jewelry designer and now launches the new collection: Cipó. The name is inspired by a typical plant of the forests and considered sacred to the natives of the Amazon. The cipò (from the tupi language: ysypó) is a sort of liana. In spite of the name, however, the jewels are not shaped like a vegetable rope.

The collection includes rings, earrings and bracelets (including a special hand bracelet) made of gold-plated silver and burnished silver.

Thais Bernardes, always sensitive to the rights of the natives, has decided to donate part of the proceeds from the sale of this collection to Survival International, a worldwide movement for indigenous peoples, which since 1969 has helped them to defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their future independently. You can buy them in Milan by Brian & Barry Building or online. Lavinia Andorno
