Nature is made to thrill us, to surprise us. There are, for example, birds that can weave not nests but true works of art just with the help of a beak. They are architects without a degree, creators of small wonders. They are exceptional creatures to be protected, like all
nature, which not only heartens us with its wonders, but also saves our lives. He knows this well

uniquely designed jewellerymade of precious materials and natural stones.
When Italian labour combined with the inspiration of Brazilian nature creates inimitable objects
The inspiration for the collection
Cipò originates from the typical plant considered sacred by the indigenous peoples of Amazonia, namely the 'cipó' (from the Tupi language: ysypó) or liana, to which the natives are linked by a
ancient craft tradition.
Handmade spheres 925 gold-plated or burnished silver,
woven thread by thread, are
light sculpturesweightless, refined and unique: no two are alike! Like
Precious little nests hold all the love for the handmade and gratitude for the inspiring, primordial and unspoilt nature. They rest on
linear rings, on rigid and discreet bracelets and become finely elaborated earrings. Or they are combined with
fringes and zirconsresulting in ethno-chic, refined and scenic pieces.
All the creations in the Cipò collection are sustainable,
made from materials that come from ethical and environmentally friendly supply chains. They are jewels that, among their meticulous weaves, enclose
meanings as profound as the millenary culture that inspires them. In addition, Thais Bernardes, founder and designer of the eponymous brand, decided to
donate part of the proceeds of the Cipò collection to support the worldwide movement Survival International in defence of the native peoples of the Amazon and the giant lung in which they live, which produces about a quarter of the earth's oxygen. Which is everyone's land.
