Gisele Bundchen in Vivara Holiday 2022 Campaign by Nicole Heiniger

Gisele Bundchen returns for another Brazilian jewelry brand Vivara holiday campaign. Gisele’s Vivara Holiday 2022 images resonate with extra meaning, because the supermodel spent the Christmas holiday in Brazil with daughter Vivian Lake, 10, and son Benjamin Rein, 13.

It was the family’s first Christmas since the divorce of Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady.

"It's my Rio Grande do Sul Heaven, Sun, South, Earth and Color Where everything that is planted grows and what blooms the most is love. It's always so good to come back home❤️," wrote Bündchen on IG as translated from Portuguese to English.

Nicole Heiniger [IG]photographed Bundchen in a return shoot for her as well.

It’s routine now for AOC to check the sustainability credentials of jewelers featured in our pages. Vivara is the largest jewelry in Brazil, and Gisele Bundchen (IG) is one of the most prominent eco-warriors in the world, and particularly in her home country of Brazil. Together, they make sweet music for stones lovers.

Vivara has posted their sustainability policy online. Vivara has an application pending with the Responsible Jewellery Council, with a target certification date of September 2021.

AOC is not an expert in any way on sustainability practices among luxury jewelers. We note that the Vivara sustainability policy is very general and lacking in any specificity around goals or expected dates of achieving them.
