Claudia Duarte

Her name stands for a Brazilian jewel-brand combining craft with sinthetic, vintage with modern concepts. Claudia\s style is unique. It\s an original blend of various materials with simple but modern design. The raw materials she uses are bone, mother-of-pearl, wood, seeds and Brazilian stones as well as resin and metal. Claudia works on them and mixes them all up, so as to create top-of-range fancy jewelery.<br><br>Her pieces are the result of a lot of imagination and research. Besides trips to various areas of Brazil, this process involves experimenting with new material and shapes, new textures and colours that will eventually be turned into necklaces, bracelets, earings and rings.<br><br>Claudia\s handicraft-shop is located in an art deco building along Flamengo beach in Rio de Janeiro. She has representatives in several states of Brazil. Also she creates personalised collections for Brazilian labels and exports her creations to Portugal, France and Great Britain.<br>
