With talent and creativity, artisans transform seeds, shells and pits, rustic raw materials of the Amazon forest, into jewels with fine finishing.
The bio-jewels are made from products of the forest and are sold in the internal and external markets.
They have a high added value as they join in necklaces, bracelets, rings or earrings, the indigenous handicraft art and the precision of jewelry art.
Artisans do business with buyers in Switzerland, the US and England.
The artisans, in partnership with the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae) in the state of Amazonas, will be releasing a new collection of bio-jewels during the III Amazon International Fair (Fiam 2006), from the 30th of August to 2nd September, at Studio 5 - Conventions Centre in Manaus.
New collection during the Fiam 2006 will show the public the innovative potential of Amazonas handicraft.
The bio-jewel initially pleases women, but it impresses anyone interested in exotic and sophisticated jewels.
The main products used in the production of bio-jewels are seeds of jarina, the ivory-nut palm, known as vegetable ivory.
Coconut shells, Brazil nuts, tucumã and calabash are all used but the ivory-nut palm is preferred because apart from necklaces and bracelets, it is possible to transform it into miniatures of manatees, toads, and the pink river dolphin, amongst other animals.
