Build your path to success and joy with these mystic gems from ancient Indian lands. Swasti Jain explores Earth's minerals through a veil of glamour and magic, creating this luxurious jewelry. Pyrite—known as the jewel of abundance—transforms into a beaded bracelet, a baroque-inspired pendant and a sublime cocktail ring, ensuring victory chooses your side. Radiant citrine chips complete the set, contained in a bottle pendant that you can add to any accessory. Equipped with electrophoretic lacquered iron accents, the set crowns its bewitching aura with a raw pyrite fragment.

Claudia Castelao created a line of jewelry around wooden roses inspired by the popular Brazilian legend of the flower of the swamp or flor pantaneira, about a man who finds a blossom so beautiful for his beloved that it was believed it was shaped by the water flow. "I thought of developing products that had cultural identity and appeal for the people of Mato Grosso do Sul, the region where I live," she says. Part of this line is this dreamy pendant necklace filled with beauty, refinement and glamour. It features a rose dyed and carved by hand from shavings of recycled eucalyptus wood over a horn disc, a cord made from several strands of buriti palm fiber and a metallic bail, chain extender and clasp closure.

Exquisite cultured pearls and delicate glass beads are beautifully embraced by twisted polymer-coated wires in a shimmering golden shade in this awe-inspiring design by Costa Rica’s Yeudi Bonilla. These precious dangle earrings ooze a contemporary vibe that will elevate any ensemble to new heights of style.

Roses inspire Brazil's Claudia Castelao with their lovely appearance, motivating the artisan to craft a sublime eucalyptus wood pendant in a honey hue. After finishing the centerpiece, Claudia sets the flower over a round bone base, using a Zamac loop to join it to the necklace. As a final touch, a comfortable buriti palm fiber cord allows the design to have an adjustable length.
