"Dear friend. I was moved by your words in the dedication, just as I was moved by your entire book, learning about the intricacies of your journey. The beautiful photos of my daughter surprised me as I didn't even know about them. But upon reaching the part about our 10-year partnership, and gazing at and savoring each photo, I fought back tears, but they won. They flowed freely just as our work did! Congratulations on the book, a crowning achievement for this wonderful woman whom I thank God for placing in my path. I love you!"

"To read the newly released 'Adeguimar Arantes até o Farei Joias' is to get to know the journey of an artist who creates based on the blend of affection and commitment. Diving into Adeguimar's work, recognized both inside and outside Brazil, offers the chance to appreciate the most original aspects of jewelry. Her pieces, always crafted from recycled metals and inspired by the Cerrado biome, are timeless. Turning the pages of the book is to have the opportunity to step a bit into this world of beauty and dedication created by the artist. It's a delight to come across reproductions of some of the most exquisite jewels made with natural stones and materials like wood and seeds. It's a pleasure to know that each copy sold will help sponsor workshops for new jewelers."

Far beyond just appreciating beauty. It kindled in me a feeling of building a legacy."

"For a long time, I haven't come across such a profound, rich, and dare I say, enriching work. It's not just because I'm amazed by these distinct, one-of-a-kind jewels that I'm writing these few lines. Not only for that reason, but also because I'm acquainted with the account of the life and journey of its author, a woman who was born with the vocation to be a protagonist in her profession. Someone gifted with unparalleled talent and creativity. Moreover, she is incredibly generous."

"It's a biography, a story of a light and productive life, one of the most beautiful ones I've known. It was born from a working relationship that, despite the distance, remained there – short messages, news, exchanges about common interests. I didn't quite grasp the responsibility that would come my way a few years later, a phone call inviting me to contribute to the project of creating a personal book. Always ready to cooperate, I said yes. But my God, did I say yes? I think it was the charm of the simple, sweet, blooming, colorful girl, with the aroma of fruits and flowers from the Cerrado, that enveloped me and off I went. Those were incredible times of enriching reading, composed of many stories and diverse cultural learnings, which were divided into two parts – one stayed with me, absorbed in small fragmented doses, and the other was reassembled in the texts of the book by Jewelry Designer Adeguimar Arantes. A luxurious person whom I had the honor to meet and share moments of this now-realized dream with. Thank you, Adeguimar Arantes, you're pure luxury, truly! Gratitude!"
