Octagon mono-earring with feather
Always following geometrical shapes and of course my love for nature and feathers, specially particular ones.
The colors they reflect on the light and the bird where they come from are very important to me when choosing them.
I don't buy them I just found them on my Godmother's farm then get inspired.
The octagon it's in burnished silver and hammered then to give a nice contrast to the cock feather I added the gorgeous big fresh water pearl.
you can buy it on boticca:

Dog Collar
Being an animal caring and lover I couldn't do less than coming up with this lovely dog collar.
Each of the accessories made for this dog collar were carefully designed.
Absolutely handmade, from the buckle to the name tag, even the links all in oxidized silver.
If you want to order you can have your dog name totally custom made to apply on the side of the collar and the phone number engraved on the back of the name tag.
I can give the option to have it in polished silver and not oxidized.
Leather available: black and purple

Not everyone dares to wear a mono earring. This one in particular can give you a very unique style.
Simplicity in lines, with different details that makes it more than stylish.
The front square it's textured with a florentine technique that makes the metal seem velvet then oxidised on the sides and the back polished very well.
The little rectangles on the bottom hold a long silver oxidized chain with a gorgeous pink pearl.

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.

Silver Hammered Long Oval Earrings
Lightness is a characteristic that all the earrings I create have. It's very important to me that when wearing them one can feel free and comfortable.

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...
