This was very informative to start off with, especially since I was clueless about this company. They are located in beautiful Ipanema, which is a good area with beach front property as well. During the tour you will see each worker actually working on the jewelry, so yes this is a real factory. My favorite was watching the actual drawing/ design of the master piece. Once you go thru the tour they have a store located in the same bldg. for purchases. I did learn a few thing in a short bit of time. They offer rides back to your hotel every hr until 4pm I believe.

The nice thing is you can loop around and walk along the beach at Copacabana through to Ipanema at Aproador. The quality is pretty standard, no Nike jerseys, but it's also nowhere near as pricey!
