Concept

The jewel is a gesture, a wisp of expression that takes the form of a portable object.

The jewel can be a memory, a symbol, it can be an object of desire, a decorative object, it can be nothing, it can have great emotional value.

Small item to carry or a jewel.

The carrier applies the value it considers.

It is a bodily element that we leave aside but when we have the jewel we attribute a value, whatever it is.

A small size piece placed somewhere in our body.

The jewel creates curiosity. What are you wearing? What is it made of? How was it made? A dialogue is created between the wearer and the person who looks at it or says nothing. 

Singular tandem object - person.

The jewel modifies our aesthetics or complements it. An earring varies the gesture of our face. You take it off or change it for another one.

Metal value

One of the valuable properties of metal is transformation and recovery. All the metal left over in the construction of a jewel is recovered.It is a circle: the residual pieces of cut and the dust that results from filing or polishing return to the beginning after melting them. The jewels that do not serve us because they have ceased to have aesthetic or emotional value can be transformed into other completely different jewels just by passing a file, welding a new element, cutting a part of that jewel or as fascinating as melting the metal of that jewel and go from a solid to a liquid state and back to a solid one and get a clean metal mass with no definite shape ready to be transformed infinitely many times. The metal is transformed, it is malleable, ductile, resistant and recoverable, a rectangular ingot can be converted into a skein of fine wire, or an extra flat plate.

Why create

I am looking for the beauty of objects, beautiful things make our life kinder. Give visibility to the ingenuity and make an invention. Think of an idea and turn it into an object. Add value to the routine.

How do I work

I design and manufacture interpreting the forms, content and language with which I live. I use what I have within my reach, what surrounds me and I apply my experience to it. I reuse and recover the metal. The design process does not end with the designer's work since when the wearer makes the jewel their own, it continues in transformation and the use made of the piece allows for infinite interpretations. Feedback: designer-wearer-eyes that look at and interpret it

Concepts

Cover

I take as a base the conventional shape of a jewel, my intention is to cover the object, as if I were putting a veil over that jewel, so that we only intuit the shape and not the details. The result is a form that does not display the details of the content. The observer imagines the rest.

shadow and drawing

I watch the shadow cast by the sun on the wall of my room when it hits the bars of the balcony.

Jewelry pieces that outline as a flat drawing, a shadow somewhere on the body. A black stain. A drawing.

modify a conventional design

I appropriate the conventional shape of a piece of jewelry and work it altering its original shape.

A pearl earring has been turned into a drawing of flat, metal circles.
