Renowned jeweler Karina Choudhrie has unveiled an exclusive fine jewelry collection in partnership with Cruzeiro Mine, the premier producer of exceptional tourmaline gemstones. Located in Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, Brazil, Cruzeiro Mine is celebrated for its high-quality tourmalines and rubellites, making it the largest mine of its kind in the world.
The new collection, titled the Karina Choudhrie x Cruzeiro Mine Collection, enhances Choudhrie’s existing Vitamin Pink Collection. Inspired by the vibrant gifts of nature, this line celebrates color, feminine energy, and modern design. The Cruzeiro Mine Vitamin Pink Collection specifically features the mine’s striking pink tourmalines, showcased in a limited-edition debut of ten pieces that highlight Choudhrie’s signature “Vitamin Pink Energy.”
Each piece in the collection is characterized by sleek modern silhouettes and innovative color combinations, reflecting Choudhrie’s passion for rare and exceptional colored gemstones. Both rings and earrings incorporate the iconic slant bar from the classic Vitamin Pink collection, reimagined with varied orientations and settings, complemented by an intricate ribbon texture. The earrings feature a trendy mismatched design, adding a touch of confident style.
This collection is crafted from numerous shades of pink and green gemstones, set in either 18K yellow or white gold, and accented with diamonds by Europe’s finest artisans. Prices for the collection range from $2,500 to $15,000 and will be available through Choudhrie’s ecommerce site, kandcojewels.com.
Choudhrie chose to collaborate with Cruzeiro Mine not only for its stunning gemstones but also for its commitment to sustainability. The mine adheres to strict environmental, social, and governance standards, prioritizing employee health and safety, promoting good working conditions, utilizing renewable resources, and engaging in reforestation efforts.
“I have truly enjoyed partnering with the Cruzeiro Mine team; our shared vision of sustainability and dedication to honoring the earth’s treasures is inspiring,” Choudhrie stated. “I am thrilled to celebrate the natural beauty of their tourmalines, which perfectly embody the spirit of my Vitamin Pink collection.”
Douglas Neves, CEO of Cruzeiro Mine, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Working with Karina Choudhrie has allowed us to blend our love for the color pink with our commitment to responsible practices in the jewelry industry. We believe that Karina’s exquisite designs and superb craftsmanship are a perfect match for the unique tourmalines from our mine.”
