The distinctive golden hues of this jewelry capture the radiance of the Brazilian sun, adding a touch of nature and elegance to every creation.

How to wear it

To ensure the blue stone and golden grass stand out elegantly, opt for solid-colored clothing in understated tones: off-white, light beige, pearl gray, or sky blue. These shades highlight the chromatic finesse and radiance of the jewelry.

Pair this necklace with delicate and breathable fabrics: fluid linen, fine cotton, or light crepe. These materials enhance the artisanal aspect of the piece while maintaining an airy and refined silhouette.

Amplify the soothing effect with analogous or soft hues like light pistachio, pastel blue-gray, or nude white. These shades create a harmonious and delicate ensemble around the soft blue of the agate.

Opt for an updo, a half-up hairstyle, or a soft braid to clear the neck and showcase the necklace. This way, the jewelry will better capture the light and attention.
