Ita
ITA is the Tupi Guarani word for rock. Tupi Guarani was one of the most important languages of colonial Brazil, spoken by the land's original people, and once an official language alongside Portuguese. The language lives on in the names of Brazilian cities across the country. Itabira, the shining rock, is one of them.
Itabira sits in Minas Gerais, in the heart of Brazil, home to the Belmont Mine, one of the world's most respected sources of fine emeralds. The emerald jewelry in this collection was born there, unearthed from the red earth that holds these stones before they ever see light.Â
ITA is an ode to that land. To every hand that digs, and every hand that cuts.In ITA, the emerald commands the room. Large, richly saturated, cut for depth. Around it, the Kaleidoscope Shaker answers in constant light. Two forces, one piece.
Rare stones deserve rare craft. The Belmont emeralds, sourced in partnership with JULLS, found their match in Moritz Glik's hands. Five singular pieces. Each one unrepeatable.
