Fine jewelry designer Joana Mieiro is obsessed with architectural shapes and geometry, a result of her architecture studies at the University of Porto. Mimata, “little indulgence” in Portuguese, is the name of her jewelry company and boutique in Porto.
Mimata draws from the history and cultural heritage of Portugal’s gold making and filigree techniques but each piece of her handmade jewelry, and the clever décor of her boutique, reflects Joana’s fresh and inventive approach. With names like Nest, Geo and Empress, Mimata fine jewelry is cast in 19k yellow gold and 18k white gold with pavé diamonds and semi precious gems and will debut at JANY’s Design Lab (#3450) this July.

Nest, the name of her best selling ring, is made from a cluster of hand wrought 19k yellow and 18k white gold wire anchored with a starburst of pavé diamonds that resembles a bird’s nest.

- Mimata - Geo
Geo is an empowering statement ring, a cut-out star in a chunk of 19k yellow gold with brilliant-cut diamonds set on top of a layer of polished 18k white gold creating a mirror effect to display the star-shaped crater.
Grenade is the name of the collection that features tiny, dangling stylized grenade shapes on stackable rings.
