Angles is hosting our fourth Meet the Designer event. The Brazilian jewelry designer Cristina Peixoto was born in Birigui, in the interior of Sao Paulo state. After studying and practicing in psychology, she operated a gallery selling contemporary art and antiques.
Then, she began to crochet metal wire to make jewelry for herself and few friends. Orders followed. Her work expanded from jewelry to the creation and embellishment of custom garments for major designers and fashion houses. Today, Cristina's jewelry is widely collected in Brazil and is often featured in leading Brazilian fashion magazines.
