At Brazilian Shack, we bring nature’s beauty to life through handcrafted jewelry that celebrates Brazil’s rich traditions and natural wonders.

Founded by Michele 'Mabele' Monteiro, a passionate jewelry artist for the last 14 years, she first opened her physical store in 2012 in Fennville. Her and other artists' creations showcase the uniqueness of Golden Grass (Capim Dourado) —a rare and radiant plant that grows only in a remote desert region of Brazil.

This extraordinary material, with its natural golden hue, pairs beautifully with plated silver and gold, making each piece a beautiful statement. Our collections embrace the elements of Mother Nature, featuring native seeds, petrified wood, semi-precious stones, and feathers, all carefully selected to create unique, one-of-a-kind designs.

Inspired by ancestral techniques passed down by indigenous communities in Tocantins, Jalapão, every piece is handcrafted with Buriti palm fibers, preserving the authenticity and sustainability of our work.

As we expand, Golden Grass remains the heart of our collection, reflecting the soul of Brazil’s artisanal heritage. From earrings to bracelets, necklaces to handbags, and even hats, our jewelry tells a story of craftsmanship, culture, and elegance.
