Story Behind the Art:
Brazil's Ailton Oliver says, 'I was born in Minas Gerais, famous for its gemstones. We lost our parents when I was only 12, and I moved to Sao Paulo with eight of my brothers and sisters. I was still a teen when I began crafting my first designs. I worked in wood, leather, glass and coconut tree fibers. Gemstones have always fascinated me, and I integrate them into my jewelry designs. As I had no academic formation, I did whatever I could to survive. A lot of times, I was misunderstood and even humiliated, but I persisted in what I believed.'
