After touring Urca, Pedra do Sal, and Cristo, you may be interested in seeing a different sort of Brazilian rock. One that doesn't involve wearing comfortable shoes. H.Stern is one of the most recognizable jewelers in Brazil and throughout the world. He has close to 200 stores across the globe, but the Ipanema location is the flagship. At this main location, you can take a tour of the H.Stern workshop here. The showroom has hundreds of keenly-executed and beautifully designed jewellery pieces. H.Stern's work is mainly influenced by nature and Brazilian gemstones, which are at the heart of his creations. Many of H.Stern's special collections, like the collaboration done with Oscar Niemeyer are displayed and available for purchase at the Ipanema store.
