Sandra
Batista, designer and goldsmith of Jóias
Raras do Brasil, giving sequence to a secular
tradition, revive, with a new design, the beauty
of Coconut and Gold jewel.
In the seventeenth century, had began the creation
of this baroque jewel. The precursors of this
traditional jewelry, was the portuguese artists,
like Antônio de Souza Neves and João
Alves do Couto, the most olden. Sandra Batista
preserve the original style and creat again,
with art and refinement, Coconut and Gold details.
The Coconut and Gold jewel had origin by the
melt from the art of work the coconut by the
slaves with the portuguese goldsmith knowledge.

Just a historical register: a Mozambique Gold
String, with coconut loop decorated with a coconut
medal, whose delicate handiwork represents a
flower in each face, with a gold stone in the
middle. This jewel was sold by the merchant
Alexandre Xandó to the emperor Dom Pedro
Second.
Coconuto and Gold is a brazilian original jewel.
After
years of work and research we produced unique
pieces, where the coconut and gold change in
nature elements, like flowers, butterflys and
other animals. They combine with thenselves,
taking a shape of beautiful necklace, bracelet,
ankle bracelet, earring, ring and pendant adorned
with precious stones. One jewel will never be
similar with another, because our Coconut and
Gold and Filigrane work is the same that an
artisan work, that can´t be produced in
series. So, this is a rare jewel that, after
finished, acquire one history and reveal the
caress by who created and engraved they, part
by part, without fundry, in a total manual process,
with quality control and the guaranty –
“Jóias Raras do Brasil”.
