Gold plated jewelry set, ‘Black Crystal Beauty’
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Faceted black Austrian crystal glitters alluringly in a beautiful jewelry set. Working with brass bathed in 18k gold, Gilberto Rebello links them in a stunning necklace. Long loops alternate gold and crystal beads in the matching earrings. Artisan Info: “In 1981 I entered the fascinating world of jewelry design and crafting as an apprentice. I learned to work with metals and some years later I decided to set up my own workshop. Silver jewelry was fashionable at the time and I crafted my own pieces working in a small studio in my house. “By the end of the 1980s a new trend in jewelry design was surfacing with the predominance of gold plated items. It was during that time that I began to include Brazilian gemstones in my designs. I believe gemstones do have some kind of energy since they’ve witness the planet’s transformations throughout time, including the appearance of man. “I am completely devoted and dedicated to my craft - it is something that brings me great joy. I am always thinking of new ways of combining stones and metals and I also follow the current fashion trends. “I have traveled throughout Brazil with my work, following the different art fairs. Novica to me means the opportunity of showing my work to an even broader, global audience! I am happy to follow technological progress and I am proud of becoming part of this international network of artisans.”

I57 Ignite is a weight loss product that contains a powerful thermogenic formula that will help many Americans burn fat and reduce cellulite. I57 Ignite contains Cha De Bugre, a powerful stimulant from the rainforests of Brazil Cha De Bugre is a small tree that grows 8-12 meters in height. The Cha De Bugre tree is indigenous to Brazil and can be found growing predominantly in the Brazilian States of Minas Gerais, Bahia, Acre and Goias. One of the reasons that Cha De Bugre is called Caf Do Mato (coffee of the woods) because it produces a red fruit resembling a coffee bean which is roasted and used as a stimulant. Cha De Bugre has been used in Brazil: As an appetite suppressant To reduce cellulite To support the heart As a stimulant Dr. C.L. Cruz wrote a book for the Brazilian market called the Dictionary of the Plants Used In Brazil. Dr. Cruz recommended Cha De Bugre as an excellent diuretic and weight loss aid as well as a good general heart tonic which can help stimulate circulation. I57 Ignite’s proprietary blend works because it uses this very important herb from the Brazilian rain forest. Remember - the Beaches of Brazil are full of very confident women in very small bikinis who use Cha De Bugre to help keep their bodies at their very best.

My name is Neeru Goel and I was born on September 19, 1960. I spent most of my childhood in Kolkata, a metropolis in West Bengal. Collecting jewelry and gemstones has been my passion ever since childhood. I have been greatly inspired by my grandmother who used to look into each and every detail, from how jewelry is made to what had been used to make the jewelry. I remember when I was just a child, my grandmother used to watch nomads walking on the roads and admire them for wearing huge and fancy jewelry. “I am a housewife, I married very young and today I am blessed with a beautiful daughter. However, being a housewife was not my cup of tea so I decided to convert my hobby into a trade. “I recently started designing sculptures in silver with Meenakari art. This was suggested by a friend, who by looking at my designing skills thought I could also make a mark in sculpting. I am overwhelmed at this new experience, and I am looking forward to continuing on this new artistic path. “It feels great to see my products being admired by other people and I hope with time

Firoz Kamal designs a pendant of dazzling beauty inspired by India’s legendary stylizations. Cast of sterling silver, the pendant glows like a mystical sun. .925 rating silver Artisan Info: “Hello, my name is Firoz Kamal and I come from a town primarily renowned for dhurrie weaving. I studied until the 12th standard and then quit school, since I was not interested in studying. Instead, I preferred to assist my parents with their stonemasonry work. “Growing up was fun; it was always a delight to see artisans crafting fascinating designs. I enjoyed watching them. Then I met a friend who was already working in filigree and exporting his jewelry collection. He advised me to decide on a career and put my heart into it. He gladly introduced me to his exquisite and fascinating world of filigree work. I began working with that same friend as an apprentice. I worked with him for eight years. It wasn’t until 2004 that I started out on my own. Even today, I take his advice before doing anything. He is my mentor. I don’t regret those years spent working for someone else, because I learned a lot, and now I’m able to do what I love. “My own designs are all traditionally inspired. My favorite designs are floral. I am very glad to have been introduced to Novica. It is a good way to reach out
