Brazilian jeweler H.Stern has collaborated with Brazilian modern dance group, Grupo Corpo, to create a new collection of jewelry full of contrasting textures and sinuous lines that resemble the human body in movement. Pieces in the collection include three rings inspired by a ballet set to the music of Cuban pianist and composer Ernesto Lecuona; the rings are made of 18k yellow and Noble gold and express the emotional range of a couple in love: intertwined to form a rosebud, flared in a moment of disharmony, and more. Suggested retail prices range from $2,500 – $2,900.
