Jewelry from Far North

I'm fascinated with the Far North Countries since 7 years ago when I went to Copenhagen, after that I never stop making friends from Sweden, Norway, Iceland...

I love the fine and clean lines on Scandinavian design style and the people relationship with light touches deep in my heart.

Ioulia is from Moscow and she's been living in Finland for long time now ... Surprise is that she is designing jewelry with Amazon seeds.

At Cloudberry Land you'll find necklaces and earrings with Tento and other seeds but also gemstones fine pieces and a Paper jewelry collection that is absolutely incredible, bold yet clean...

Piaçava

Piacava vegetal fiber is a product of the Palm tree Attalea Funifera know as "Piaçaveiro".

Endemic to Bahia state in Brazil, piaçava fiber is a very important revenue in the producing areas.

The name Piaçava originated from Tupi-Guarany language and means fibrous plant. The fiber has been used by the indians to build their huts and make brooms, nut is browed into flower and milk extracted on a press, the nut can also be burn like carbon to produce heat.

Piaçava is a long, impermeable and very resistant fiber so during the colonial period piaçava fiber was immediately adopted by the Europeans to make ropes for the boats and roof cover and the most famous broom in Brazil still is the Piaçava broom.

The use of piaçava fiber is older then Brazil's history as it has been traditionally used by the native population for centuries. Still today is a culture that is not been profitable as it could be. The cablocos say that the "Piaçaveiro is a treasury hidden right in front of our eyes and nobody can see"
