Provenance: Prominent New York estate. Brazilian jeweler Haroldo Burle-Marx creates hand-crafted and artistic pieces adorned with native Brazilian precious stones including opal, garnet, tourmaline, amethyst, and aquamarine. His designs are historically and mythically inspired but rendered with a modern sensibility and techniques. His work is held in such esteem that since 1955, Burle-Marx has been commissioned by members of the Brazilian government to make pieces of jewelry for visiting dignitaries and their first ladies. Marx made a name for himself amongst prominent European collectors and socialites. His work as an artist-jeweler is distinct and memorable. He was chosen by the Brazilian government to create gifts for visiting heads of state and their wives including Empress Nagako of Japan, Empress Farah Diba of Iran, Queen Margarethe of Denmark and Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He was also a favored jeweler to Natalie Wood and Merle Oberon. On of his most important commissions was a gem-encrusted cross made for Pope John Paul II.
