ROCINHA earrings, from RIO collection

In Rio de Janeiro, it is common to see numerous favelas, each with an architectural signature of box-shaped, flat-roofed makeshift homes, stacked upon each other on the hillside. Rocinha is the largest favela in Brazil. Built on a very steep hillside overlooking the city, it developed from a shanty town into an urbanized slum. Today, most of its’ houses are made from concrete and brick. Since their inception, favelas have had negative associations – crime, violence, poverty and drugs.
