Helena Palmeira is a Brazilian jewellery designer whose practice explores materiality as memory. A MA graduate from Central Saint Martins, she creates sculptural pieces using historically and culturally significant materials. Her collection Confluência draws on Brazilian modernism and the aesthetics of binding to explore adornment as transformation. Her work has been featured in (re)Weaving Amazonia, an exhibition during London Climate Action Week alongside many established designers, was selected by Blackdot Gallery to be a part of London Design Festival—where she won the Public’s Choice Award—and will appear in Brazil Jewellery Week’s upcoming book on Latin American designers. Through binding and transformation, Helena reframes jewellery as a site of reflection, reclamation, and narrative.

Jacarandá Choker
reclaimed Jacarandá wood, recycled gold
110 x 120 x 30mm
The piece explores the dialogue between body and object, drawing on the organic, rounded forms of Brazilian modernist art and the visual language of binding and restraint. The rich texture of the wood contrasts with its minimal structure, creating a quiet tension that invites the body to become both wearer and sculpture.
