GRAZIELA KAUFMAN Growing up in Brazil, I frequently visited my Grandfather’s Atelier. He carried on our family tradition of fine Italian jewelry making.

I spent countless hours watching him work with his exquisite designs, turning brilliant stones into magical, wearable creations.

Watching him work exclusively by hand, instilled in me a deep appreciation and respect for superior craftsmanship. This is one of the reasons why all of our jewelry is hand-finished…and why women who ultimately love our designs look so elegant. In my later teenage years, I was able to go out to the mining towns to source my own stones and I began to form relationships with the miners. Over time, they began to understand my design aesthetic and quality and gem requirements. It was at this time I began designing ‘around’ the gems. In an almost magical way, the gems continue to direct the color combinations and the general shapes of my designs.

In today’s technological world, everything is about market efficiencies. Fine commodities, dies and molds are often produced and resold time and time again. The design component then simply becomes a function of arranging colors and stone combinations.

While this certainly has a place in our industry, in my opinion it is devoid of originality, artistry and soul. Originality of design is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job. It was with this spirit in mind, that I pursued three graduate programs from G.I.A. - In Jewelry making, colored gemstones and diamonds.

I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively and experience a great many cultural backgrounds, which has also influenced my design aesthetic.

isty Copeland has this way of making

things look easy. Arriving at her Glamour shoot with a sunny energy and a wide, beaming smile, she instantly makes everyone feel as if she is just one of us. Then the second she steps in front of the camera, boom—you realize who you’re in the room with.

Here is a prodigy who started dance at the advanced age of 13, then became the first African American principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre (one of the top companies in the world)—a woman who was a muse to and collaborator with Prince and is an author, a diversity advocate, and an idol to young dancers everywhere. She’s petite (5'2") but has the effortless strength of an athlete, something that comes across as she nails every move for our photos and video on the first try (watch her beauty hacks on glamour.com/lipstick). And while she’s humble about her own beauty, she’s big on playing cheerleader to others.

Listen in as she talks about challenging conventions, and how her new role as the face of Estée Lauder Modern Muse fragrance helps her do it.

GLAMOUR: Let’s go back—how did you find confidence as a young dancer?

MISTY COPELAND: It took me a while to understand that the classical ballet field is so much about what you look like, and also to accept that it’s OK to be different. I don’t need to look like every ballerina that’s come before me. As a young person, I wish I had had more examples of success through people who looked like me, showing me that brown skin is beautiful. I’ve been able to discover beauty on my own terms.

GLAMOUR: Whom have you looked up to along the way?

MC: Veronica Webb [the first African American model to land a major beauty contract, with Revlon in 1992]. She was one of the first groundbreaking black women I met early in my career. She set an example that there were endless opportunities no matter where you came from.

GLAMOUR: Have you always been into beauty?

MC: My mother loved makeup. She never left the house without full mascara and red lips. But as a child, I never wanted to stand out. The most I wore, up until high school, was clear mascara. I didn’t really discover makeup until I became a dancer, and I still don’t wear much when I’m not working. But I’ve always been a big perfume person. It’s something I put on before I step into rehearsal or onto the stage. I think it’s nice for my partner to smell something beautiful, and it has kind of just become a part of this ritual of my preparing to go onstage.

GLAMOUR: When do you feel most beautiful now?

MC: Onstage, when I’m able to really become the characters. Something about all that hard work and history makes me feel beautiful. It’s not that I feel ugly in my everyday life; it’s just not my goal to be beautiful.

GLAMOUR: So what motivated you to do a cosmetics campaign?

MC: It’s important for women to see themselves represented in every hue and every shape, with different careers and different paths. You don’t have to have plastic surgery; you don’t have to be stick-thin and starve yourself to be beautiful. I feel like I represent a lot of people. And I want to encourage young people to love themselves and accept who they are.
