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.

recycled gold, Brazilian emeralds, clear quartz

This sculptural ring draws inspiration from the organic contours of seedpods, evoking a sense of growth and transformation. At its center, a clear quartz cabochon rests like a droplet of water or a magnifying lens, subtly enlarging the landscape of the skin beneath it.
