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.

(contact for pricing) Jarina Ring

Jarina seed, recycled gold
30 x 30 mm

Hand-carved from an Amazonian seed harvested sustainably by local communities, the form draws on the aesthetics of binding and restraint.
The ring explores what it means to bind material to the body—transforming both shape and meaning in an act of cultural reclamation.
