Cheila Gomes is the CEO and Creative Director of MariaRuby.
With 17 years of experience in Marketing, she spent 8 years in the extractive industry in Mozambique. One of the greatest milestones in her career was leading the Public Relations department of the world’s largest ruby mine.
Holding a degree in Marketing, a Master’s in Marketing & Advertising, and a Master’s in Business Management in Oil & Natural Gas, she decided in 2022 to embrace a new professional journey: she founded MariaRuby and entered the world of fine jewelry.
Passionate about jewelry, she believes that when worn in everyday life, jewels can embody self-confidence, love, friendship, deep connections, and inner resilience.
Her direct experience with rubies — stones of rare beauty, power, and immense value — gave her a profound understanding of their emotional impact. This experience has shaped her bold and visionary approach to creating a brand that reflects sophistication, authenticity, and emotion.
