Welcome to my website! I design and make one of a kind or limited edition jewellery pieces using semi-precious gemstones and sterling silver, combining both lapidary and silversmithing techniques. I am Peruvian by birth and upbringing but educated in European thought and culture. I trained as an artist and bring a painter's and sculptor's perspective on colour and shape to my work. I select and have gemstones cut to my specifications in Peru, and finish them by hand myself, in many cases melting and forging sterling silver on to the gemstones. Clients have variously described my work as "stunning", "bold", "unusual", "tactile", "different", "artistic", even "chunky". I hope you will bear these reactions in mind as you use the buttons at the top to explore my website.
