Contest IBGM/ Ministry of Tourism

The IBGM Design award promotes Brazilian jewelry design and has become a powerful incentive to the development and evaluation of new talent in Brazil. The ultimate objective is to establish a differentiated product in the international market. The 2006 Edition was supported by the Ministry of Tourism, with the theme of Brazilian Destinations.

This piece is in yellow gold, with seven different precious stones and optic fiber.
