The botanical gold that blossoms in the heart of Brazil.

Over three decades of patience, respect for the forest and passion for handmade craft.

Behind every fold and every piece patiently assembled by hand is the heart of master craftsman Carlos Alberto, affectionately known as "Gaúcho" — a nickname that comes from where he was actually born, Santa Cruz do Sul, in Brazil's southern Rio Grande do Sul state. For more than 30 years, he has dedicated his life to turning native raw materials into jewelry of exceptional elegance.

Alongside his wife and his son Thalis — who looks after every detail of curation and customer care with that same family devotion —, Arte da Floresta keeps making every piece by hand, the way the family learned over more than 30 years of working with golden grass.

“I'm an eternal craftsman. I'll grow old still making art — as long as my hands still work, I'll keep creating something. Creativity is something that has no limits. And that's how we go on.”
