I made this ring as a statement piece, it’s not the most comfortable  to wear (because of its size) but it’s very unique. The stone used in it is a Lapis Lazuli which is the national stone of my country (Chile).

Swarovski crystal with silver mount. It’s a nice traditional ring to display a single stone. Personally this is the most boring and overrated ring to make.

Pin made with silver and a coral finger. This was one of the most difficult works that I tried doing. The concept was to make a pin/dragonfly that looks old, almost like it’s falling apart by time. This is a statement piece it’s not made to be worn all the time.  In some places the metal gets very thin and with the continuous contact it will get shinier. 

925 silver hair comb. This like all of my pieces was a personal accessory.

This silver ring started as a failed project. The supported pieces didn’t come together as I wanted, but I realized that even though the ring was open it didn’t fell off because it got caught by the thickness of the bone in the finger. Then I began to add things that no one would usually have on a ring. Its a fun piece, not a pretty one but fun.

The stone used in this ring is a citrine which is  associated to the month of november. The idea in this ring was to expose the stone as much as possible, especially since the shape of it is irregular making it very peculiar and the clarity and quality are very good.

I don’t particular like making earrings, the idea of making two things that are equal to each other I very boring to me. This earrings were made with silver, its shape is very organic.

This three rings were a practice, I was learning to use the saw. They didn’t come out great but I kept them because of all the work and as a memory of my first work. They are very fun to wear.
