Behind every successful woman is a tribe of other successful women who have her back.

Let’s celebrate women. The essence of being of a woman. What makes some of the women extraordinary from their seemingly ordinary life. Let’s take a look at the lives of women who have inspired us in our journey.

From being the firsts in many achievements to being a role model; these women have shown us how to be unabashed, unapologetic and fearless. They are the epitome of #DareToLive. A line that resonates with Hueb and the women who wear us.

Here is a tribute to those women who inspire us every single day. The list is exhaustive, and this is just the start.

Did you ask why did we list these inspirational women? That’s because, at Hueb, we take inspiration from women like them and you; the ones who are set out to make a difference in the world and inspire us. Hueb’s journey spans three generations and it was started by Fadua Hueb. She created jewelry that was fascinating; complete with gemstones and golden accents that are inspired by the color, energy and natural beauty of Brazil. Each piece was designed to compliment a woman’s personal style, rather than define it.
