    Using Sustainable Metals and Gemstones, Classic Luxella Design will Last for Generations

    Luxella Design is a jeweler like no other. Combining innovative, modern shapes and lines with organic textures to create timeless, elegant pieces, all while maximizing the use of sustainably sourced products to respect our planet.

    It is the creation of Ana Guimaraes, a California trained artist, who creates jewelry in her Berkeley, California studio, with love, inspired by global experiences, family and nature. Like a cityscape—whether a park in San Francisco, the harbor front in Toronto, or Times Square in New York— the inspiration comes together to create a unique and unforgettable experience.

    Star Light Collection

    Nature is beautiful. Nature is alive. The star-shaped pods of the star anise plant are strikingly beautiful, as exotic in their shape as they are in their flavor. Recreated in sterling silver or gold, they shine brilliantly like a star.

    The Star Light Collection integrates the uncommon beauty of the star anise plant with the power of light. The message is the unending relevance of Mother Nature.

    The designer Ana has lived in northern Canada, and even on the coldest, darkest nights there was a sparkle in the morning, shining brightly off the snow. She has recreated this feeling—of snow falling softly, silently, and brilliantly—in Snowflake Earrings.

    Luxella Teen

    Luxella Teen is an eco-friendly, sustainable teen jewelry business. The pieces are handmade with recyclable metals using innovative materials. The line is modern and trendy while respecting Mother Earth!

    All handmade by Ana Paola, a middle school student in California who designs and creates all the pieces. Inspired by nature and her own international experiences, the pieces are very accessible and perfect for any occasion, from school to a fancy dinner. Stay tuned for the Luxella teen website coming soon.

    Butterfly Collection

    This line is inspired by the amazing, majestic monarch butterfly. Their annual migration from Mexico to Canada—2,500 miles—is powered by small, delicate wings. Ana feels a powerful connection to the monarch, since she was born and raised in Mexico, have lived in Canada, and now live in the USA. Small wings, but such power. Small is beautiful. Small does not mean insignificant.

    Habitat loss, adverse weather events, and herbicides have contributed to a steep decline in monarch populations over the last 20 years. It’s hard to imagine that the grandchildren might not be able to learn and see the great monarch migration. Ana’s salute to the monarch in this butterfly collection is meant to help raise awareness about this issue.

    Luxella is handmade in the USA—Each piece of jewelry is hand crafted by Ana in her studio in Berkeley, California using mostly sustainably sourced products. She combines modern shapes and lines with organic textures in creative ways to create jewelry that is classic and will last for generations. She strives to maximize the use of sustainably sourced products to create her jewelry. Luxella is commitment to community and giving back—Luxella Design donates to The Practice Space, a non-profit organization in the Bay Area which teaches youth and adults effective communication strategies in a safe, supportive place. The Practice Space primarily works with underserved communities and helps grow leaders who inspire positive change.

    No.001 is made with only four clean ingredients. The Xanthan gum. It is like the one friend who keeps the group together! It is also a natural thickener. To get a little technical, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide with many industrial uses, including as a common food additive.

It can be produced from simple sugars using a fermentation process, and derives its name from the species of bacteria used, Xanthomonas campestris. Cloth + Bristle sources xanthan gum ethically and organically.

    Make today your fresh start to a clean and sanitized home, clean with clay – from your kitchen to your bathrooms and beyond!

    About Cloth and Bristle:

    Cloth and Bristle was founded by April Sargies in 2019. April, a wife and mother of three young children owns an award winning residential cleaning company in Maryland, The Neat Nest. Our introductory patent pending product No. 001 was born from April’s need for a cleaning product that could clean natural and delicate surfaces, such as marble, thoroughly without damaging the material but actually leaving the material enhanced. It was born from a need to solve a problem.

    Her clients were also wanting green products that were safe for their families. After much testing and trial and error, she landed on what has come to be No. 001. She tried it on her toughest household jobs and to her amazement, it worked! She is passionate about the product because she’s tried so many products on the market for clients and her family and either they were toxic, harsh on surfaces or were eco friendly but not strong enough for resistant jobs.

    The mission of Cloth and Bristle is to create the products that TKO yet are safe for our families and our world!
