Men can be really sweet when they want!

I wanted to share the way one of my male clients gave a heart bracelet to a friend as a birthday present. I was delighted with the fact that he wanted to give the heart bracelet in a really special way. It's so important the love that we put into giving things. He not only made feel special his friend but me as well being creative on the packaging!

March just started! Waiting for a wonderful blooming spring!

Curious winter "Gold" story

You all will ask yourself: What does a bird has to do with gold?

So it happens that Aristotle described the migration of cranes in The History of Animals, adding an account of their fights with Pygmies as they wintered near the source of the Nile. He describes as untruthful an account that the crane carries a touchstone inside it that can be used to test for gold when vomited up. (This second story is not altogether implausible, as cranes might ingest appropriate gizzard stones in one locality and regurgitate them in a region where such stone is otherwise scarce)

True or not?

I wanted to share the story and the beauty and powerful appereance of the crane bird that I might take in the future for jewelry inspiration.

A Glance to Jewelry making

I wanted to give a glance of what is the process of jewelry making and how fascinating and intersting can be
more than selling or buying it.

I give all my love and passion making jewelry and so my first post of the year is dedicated to Jewelry making.

Xipec Totec (Our lord the flayed one)


As in every culture this god belongs to the Aztec mythology and religion. Being the god of agriculture, vegetation, the east, disease, spring, goldsmiths, silversmiths and the seasons.

In my journey as a jewelry Designer in each collection there's some of this deity who was a life-death-rebirth symbol.

Artur Rubinstein - Chopin - Polonaise in F sharp minor, Op. 44


Not only I am nutured for what surrounds me and what I can see with my eyes but for the magical notes as well of Chopin...
