A Legacy of Craftsmanship: The Story Behind Angela Maria
At the heart of Angela Maria is the legacy of artistic passion passed through generations. The brand was founded by Angela Maria herself, a woman whose innate talent was nurtured by her mother and then lovingly passed down to her own daughter, Daniela Picinini. What began as a small-scale endeavor to earn extra income—selling handcrafted pieces to local shops in Balneário Camboriú—soon flourished into a prestigious brand known for its distinctive elegance.
Daniela, with her background in architecture, brought a new level of refinement by shifting the focus from traditional decorative objects to a niche concept: sculptural jewelry for tables and walls. This transformation elevated the brand, turning everyday surfaces into curated showcases of artistry. By infusing each piece with the essence of jewelry design—delicate craftsmanship, intricate detailing, and the profound meaning of natural stones—Angela Maria created an entirely new category of home adornment that resonates with collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

The Art of Sculptural Jewelry for Interiors
Angela Maria's collections are a fusion of nature and artistry, with each piece meticulously handcrafted using carefully selected natural stones sourced from various regions around the world. These stones, rich in symbolism and history, are the soul of the brand’s creations, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same. The result is a range of decor items that exude exclusivity, elegance, and a profound sense of identity.
The idea of sculptural jewelry for tables and walls was born from a desire to elevate interior design beyond the conventional. What if a dining table could wear a necklace? What if a wall could be adorned with a statement piece as unique as a cherished heirloom? These questions inspired Angela and Daniela to create stunning table and wall necklaces—artistic compositions that bring an unprecedented level of refinement to any space.
Handmade with Heart
Every Angela Maria piece is crafted with passion and precision by the family itself. Angela, alongside her husband, Osmar, ensures that each creation meets the highest standards of excellence. From the careful selection of stones to the intricate assembly of each sculpture, the process is a testament to their unwavering dedication to quality and authenticity. Their hands-on approach allows them to infuse each piece with a personal touch, making every design not just a decorative element, but a meaningful work of art.
A Global Journey to Recognition
Since its founding in 2022, Angela Maria has made remarkable strides in establishing itself as a global name in luxury decor. A pivotal moment in its journey was the decision to showcase its designs at major national and international fairs. Their debut at Brazil’s largest decoration fair opened the doors to nationwide recognition, while exhibitions in Paris, Germany, and Dubai solidified their presence in the international luxury market.
It was on one of these global expeditions that Janet Morais, the founder of My Object of Desire, an avid seeker of rare and extraordinary design, first encountered Angela Maria. Mesmerized by the brand’s unparalleled craftsmanship, unique artistic vision, and feminine vibes she knew instantly that these sculptural jewels belonged in her curated collection of luxury decor. Now available through My Object of Desire, Angela Maria’s pieces offer collectors and design connoisseurs the opportunity to bring home a fragment of Brazil’s rich artistic heritage.
The Beauty of Meaningful Design
For Angela, Daniela, and their family, the greatest joy comes not only from creating these magnificent pieces but also from seeing them admired and cherished. Each work is more than just decor—it is a statement of elegance, a bridge to tradition, and an invitation to experience the extraordinary at home.
With a steadfast commitment to craftsmanship and an eye for timeless beauty, Angela Maria continues to redefine luxury interiors, proving that jewelry isn't just for wearing—it’s for living with and being inspired by every single day.
