The creative process
I believe designing has been my way of navigating the world since I was a girl. It came to me naturally, and it still does.
My father was and is my greatest influence. He was very elegant, had a mastery of color, and possessed exquisite taste. He taught me so much.
I started designing jewelry after I turned 50; I reinvented myself due to life's circumstances. With less sharp eyesight and less physical strength than when you start out young, I knew exactly what I could and wanted to do. I focused on my capabilities and my creative background, which was rich and extensive. I analyzed what I was good at: designing simple, beautiful, flattering, timeless, and authentic things. Honest and high-quality.
And so I began, with that confidence that comes from immediately knowing what I like. That is my true gift: seeing the material, the stone, the color, and the shape that, all together, will work for me.
Three years ago, along the way, I met Montse, a great person and professional. And I am very grateful to life for having found her. She is "the other hands" of this brand, my support and my unconditional partner in battle. Without her, I wouldn't have made it this far.
What I like to explain because of its importance, is that we make unique pieces. Not only because they are handmade but because the materials and stones are very fleeting in today's ever-changing world, where restocking is sometimes entirely impossible.
All jewelry has a story. Since my workshop-store has been open to the public, I can explain them to customers when they are interested and ask. It is rewarding for them and for me.
Each piece has its own name. They are dedicated to women from all the stages of my life. Women who are or have been loved and important to me. If I don't like the name of someone I love, I give them a nickname or change the language. Behind every name and every piece of jewelry, there is a real woman.
There are models I've been making since I started that are still here. Others come and go. Some are always here. And we live in a continuous creative process of designing new pieces.
I am often asked to do custom work, but I cannot accept everything. I have little time for it, and my expertise is limited. When a potential commission falls within my style and capabilities, I accept with pleasure.
For those who can, I invite you to visit “my happy place.” Things are always happening here, and you can see many more pieces of jewelry than online. Seeing, touching, and trying them on in person, seeing yourself in the mirror… that is the real experience. It is a beautiful and welcoming space that brings together the effort and affection of three united siblings, to whom I am deeply grateful.
