Nilson of Rio de Janeiro and his team masterfully hand-sculpt this collar necklace of antiqued brass, surrounding each uniquely shaped piece of quartz crystal as they handcraft this one-of-a-kind piece. Each quartz crystal collar necklace is inspired by the forms and flowers of lush tropical plants throughout Nilson's home country of Brazil. Born in one of Rio's most dangerous slums, Nilson dropped out of school at age 15 to help support his family. He first found work in a leather-goods workshop and later apprenticed with a brass artisan. Determined to give his daughter opportunities he didn't have, Nilson began handcrafting jewelry from leftover scraps at the workshop. Nilson now brings his rich organic designs to the larger world, and is able to create a sustainable living for himself and many of his townspeople. Each quartz crystal collar is made, uno alla volta, from the hearts and hands of artisans; no two will be exactly alike. Each piece is a limited edition of 250. Collar measures 15in. with a 5in. pendant, adjustable.

Nilson

Born in one of Rio de Janeiro’s most dangerous slums, Nilson dropped out of school at age 15 to help support his family. Apprenticed to a brass artisan, he soon discovered his own creative talents. When a Connecticut couple discovered him and helped him create a sustainable business, Uno Alla Volta's customers immediately fell in love. Together, we are enabling Nilson to transform the life of his family, and many of his friends and neighbors as well.
