The marriage of vision and responsible practice. Neves family-owned Cruzeiro Mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil, aims to create a new mine-to-market model in which goods incorporating its tourmaline and rubellite are finished in-country, thus transforming locally extracted resources into greater valued-added product and providing greater local economic benefit. In 2022, Cruzeiro and brand development agency Julls together invited a select group of exceptional designers from or based in Brazil to create an exclusive collection using the mine’s gemstones for the Couture show in Las Vegas. The work of three of these jewelers—Carolina Neves, Fiszman Jewels, and Verachi—is on view at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City.
