Brazilian born artist, Miriam Chor Freitas, the inspiration behind Miriam Jewels, came to the United States at the tender age of 19 bringing with her two generations of family tradition in the jewelry trade. Despite her artistic inclinations, she first pursued a meaningful career in Child Welfare services; before starting to import a wide range of jewelry collections. Talent and creativity took over and her own wire crochet jewelry collection was born. Miriam Jewels boasts a signature wire crochet jewelry collection with pieces that are bold and lavish; yet elegant and unique wearable pieces of art that truly reflect both her highly sophisticated taste and the sensitivity of every woman.

Her colorful, bold, and eclectic jewelry collections represent the various aspects of Miriam’s heritage. The vivaciousness of Brazil, the laid-back California style, the influence of artisan cultures and the classic style of fine jewelry; different aspects that blended together became Miriam Jewels. Her collections include the Classic Crochet Jewelry Collection, the Gypsy Crochet Jewelry Collection and the Inca Crochet Jewelry Collection. Miriam also collaborates with other extremely gifted artists who create innovative pieces of jewelry that add to and complement the Miriam Jewels’ collections.

Recently Miriam traveled to Lima, Peru, to learn the Peruvian Stitch from the experts in the art of making the Peruvian wire crochet jewelry. All the pieces are created by making one kind of stitch that is perfectly symmetrical in order to create a distinctive lamellar effect that characterizes the Peruvian jewelry. The results are beautiful, original, and eye-catching handcrafted pieces of jewelry.

Additionally, Miriam has continued her committed to children by advocating for them in various avenues including donating a percentage of her business profit from Miriam Jewels to non-profit organizations dedicated to Child Welfare. Currently, Children in Need is the recipient of the charitable contributions by Miriam Jewels.

Miriam has adopted California for the past 17 years and lives in Poway with her husband and two children, who are her true inspiration. Currently Miriam Jewels’ wire crochet jewelry collections are available at this site as well as exclusive boutiques, galleries, and private consultations.
