Helena Palmeira is a Brazilian jewellery designer whose practice explores materiality as memory. A recent MA graduate from Central Saint Martins, she creates sculptural pieces using historically and culturally significant materials. Her graduate 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 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 Bracelet

reclaimed Jacarandá wood, recycled gold, Brazilian emerald
75 x 60 mm

The wood is pressed and bound — shaped by tension, closed by a stone. A gesture of holding history close to the body.
