Working with metal and semiprecious stones, Ronilson creates exceptionally beautiful jewelry and purses for Beleza in his Rio de Janeiro shop. Ronilson has been dedicated to his craft for almost 20 years and has truly created a unique design style recognized throughout Brazil.

Using brass, copper and alpaca metals, Ronilson carefully welds the metals into purse and handbag designs that are then embedded with semi-precious stones including amethyst, onyx, rose agate, citrine and many others. His work is currently displayed at one of the premier artists’ fairs in Brazil – the famous Hippie Fair in Rio. Moreover, his distinctive purses are sold in boutiques in Florida, Connecticut and California. Ronilson has also created a very popular line of jewelry and is constantly working on new designs for customers around the world.

The inspiration for his work, as well as his motivation for success, is Ronilson’s young daughter. He is determined to make sure all her needs are met while she is growing up, and he desires to provide for her college education.
