About us

Since we were young in Argentina, we shared the motivation to create different objects that express our feelings and our memories. We have experimented through different branches of art and handcrafts; from wood carving to ceramics, stain glass and artistic photography. This passion to create objects with our hands joined to another, walking different Latin American beaches looking for hidden treasures that the ocean has brought, like: stunning seashells, petrified wood, stones of intriguing forms, fossils, driftwoods and polished sea glass. When we arrived to Tamarindo Costa Rica we were charmed by the exotic beauty and colorful nature.
We wanted to show and share each treasure we found and thatís when the curiosity to learn jewelry making was born. To transform these small gifts of nature into pieces of wearable art identify our connection with Mother Nature. This desire for creation took us to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, to study the art of the jewelry making with outstanding and recognized mexican silversmiths, among them the prestigious artist Raul Ybarra. There began an endless journey towards knowledge of diverse jewelry techniques.
All the cultures have expressed their way to understand the world with their jewels. From the beginning of time man has had this incredible capacity to fuse art, value and symbolism in an object easy to transport and hide. Seven years ago we established our jewelry workshop on the pacific shores of Tamarindo Costa Rica, the pristine beaches and colorful sunsets are day by day our inspiration.
