He also loves the history and culture of the indigenous peoples of the Amazon and its powerful nature, which inspires his creations and holds so many messages, just as he loves the traditions and unparalleled refinement of Italian craftsmen and goldsmiths. In his art\u00a0merged all these passions, resulting in jewellery adorned with Venetian tassels<\/strong>often mixed with feathers, which for the natives are emblems of freedom, courage and free spirit.\n

It is precisely the tassels that have become the\u00a0hallmark of the line's jewellery\u00a0Amazonian<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0of Thais Bernardes.<\/h2>\nTheir story is intriguing because they are elements\u00a0inspired by the workmanship that characterises the Venetian chain,<\/strong>\u00a0always been one of the best known, most used and rarest. It is said that, as early as the 6th century, Venetians learnt in Constantinople this craft commonly known since 1700 as\u00a0Manin<\/em>in honour of the noble and ancient family considered the richest in Venice. The chain adorned noblewomen and merchant's wives, who wore several threads around their necks or wrists. It was made of\u00a0tiny gold rings with a hollow semicircular cross-section, soldered together<\/strong>\u00a0to form a long, fine mesh, so complex that even today the exact manual process, kept secret in the lagoon's goldsmith workshops, is still unknown.\n\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong>\n\n \n\nThais Bernardes interpreted it in her own way<\/strong>, mindful of the emotions she felt when, working as a model in the early days of her career, she remained\u00a0captivated by the swaying tassels<\/strong>\u00a0that adorned garments and accessories. He thus reproduced them in\u00a0925 silver or 18 kt yellow gold plated<\/strong>\u00a0for\u00a0enrich necklaces, define long earrings<\/a> or characterise closures\u00a0<\/strong>of the line\u00a0Amazonian<\/em>. The Venetian chain tassels that the designer uses to give\u00a0sensual charm and sinuous movement<\/strong>\u00a0to its jewels, they derive their strength precisely from their\u00a0power to unite distant cultures<\/strong>.\n\nLike the chain\u00a0Manin<\/em>\u00a0ideally linked the two ancient powers of sea markets, so today\u00a0Thais Bernardes' tassels unite Italy and Brazil<\/strong>, hard cultures rich in knowledge, vivacity and poetry. The Venetian chain tassel by Thais Bernardes has become, with its lightness and unstoppable dance, the\u00a0genderless distinctive sign<\/strong>\u00a0of all those who know how to treasure the past in order to express themselves in the present, in freedom.\n\n\"\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
