Amuleto

Jewellery

Dilma was born in Angola, central Africa in 1970. She grew up in Portugal, where she studied Jewellery Design in Lisbon with jeweller artist Filomeno Pereira de Sousa, at Contacto Directo school (1991-1994). She also completed a degree in Industrial Design from IADE, Lisbon.

In 1995, Dilma moved to London and worked at Cox and Power jewellers in South Kensington for two years before becoming self-employed. Her work sold successfully in several well-recognised art galleries in the UK, Austria, Germany, Portugal and the Caribbean. In 2006 she moved to Australia, taking her jewellery tools with her and selling her work in Byron Bay, NSW and Melbourne, VIC.

In 2011, she qualified as a kinesiologist and, a few years later, as a Crystal Dreaming practitioner and teacher. All this energy work has ignited her passion and understanding of how jewellery can be powerful objects that hold and gift magic.

Dilma’s awareness & appreciation of energy, combined with the desire for wellness, is the foundation of “Amuleto Designs”.
