Seu Jacozinho is 74 years old and has spent much of his life working among the opals of Pedro II, Brazil. 💎

After decades tied to mining, he ended up taking his trade to an unexpected place: his own smile. The veteran miner wears a dental prosthesis decorated with genuine opals, the same stones famous for reflecting flashes of different colors when they catch the light.

Every time he smiles, he shows a small piece of the mineral wealth that shaped his life. And perhaps that’s why his denture ended up becoming more than a curiosity: it’s almost a personal signature made of opal. 😁✨
