Our
story
Belaris Gems Atelier was born from heritage, passion, and the refined artistry of gemstones—passed down through generations. Founded by Larissa Ozelieri, a second-generation gemologist from Teófilo Otoni, Minas Gerais—internationally known as “The Capital of Gemstones”—Belaris is the embodiment of tradition and expertise.
Raised in a family deeply rooted in the gemstone trade, Larissa began her journey as a teenager, working alongside her mother and learning the intricate craft of sourcing, purchasing, and selling precious stones.
With years of hands-on experience and exposure to international markets, Larissa has participated in some of the world’s most prestigious gemstone and jewelry trade fairs. She holds a degree in Business Administration from Brasília, Brazil, and later expanded her expertise in the United States by studying Gemology at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
Inspired by her roots and driven by a deep love for the art and energy of natural stones, Larissa created Belaris Gems Atelier—a space where each gem tells a story, and each piece reflects authenticity, elegance, and soul.
Welcome to Belaris—where tradition meets timeless beauty.
