Paula Mourão

Paula Mourão was born and works in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She began her work as her father´s assistant, the worldwide known jeweler Caio Mourão, in his workshop Atelier Mourão.

Her unique and beautiful work is the result of her continuous process of experimentation in search of harmony and beauty, using different materials such as silver, gold, fiber, glass, gemstones, resin, seeds and enamel.

Since 2005, after her father´s death, Paula is the director and teacher of the well known Atelier Mourão, where I am taking my jewelry classes.












Paula Mourão, joalheira carioca, iniciou seu trabalho ajudando seu pai, Caio Mourão, no Atelier Mourão em Ipanema. Suas jóias exclusivas são a imagem de sua cidade, um mix de natureza e urbano obtendo um resultado único.

Seu processo de criação busca harmonia e beleza, através da experimentação com diversos materiais: prata, ouro, pedras, tecido, esmalte, sementes, vidro e resina.

Paula Mourão, desde 2005, é diretora e professora dos cursos de joalheria do Atelier Mourão, onde estou estudando, formador de vários talentos da joalheria brasileira consagrados nacional e internacionalmente.

NG Jewelry on Etsy!

Today was the opening of my new etsy shop, how exciting!
I made the avatar

and the banner.

I planned on listing a lot of items but realized that needed to improve and take some more pictures of the items. So, at this moment, only 4 items are in the new shop. The next days will be quite busy !
Come take a look at NG Jewelry and tell me what you think!
Hope you like it!

NG




I am thinking about using my initials "NG" to name my new shop on Etsy.
I still have to design a new banner, avatar, make a stamp for the silver pieces etc etc.
Do you have any other suggestion?
