The artisan

About Valentina

She began her career as a fashion designer. But after a while, she felt lost - fabric never offered her the opportunities to fully unleash her creativity. So she started her search for different materials to experiment with. When she reflected on her youth, she remembered the shared interest in carpentry with her father. This sparked the idea of making jewelry. Since then, she has not stopped creating.

The process

Valentina is passionate about handcrafting and leaving a positive impact on the world. Therefore, she makes every piece entirely by hand and continuously tries to reduce her ecological footprint.

Valentina's mission is to introduce the world to Mexican metals & traditional goldsmith processes through her designs.

Handcrafting

Uniqueness

Every part of Valentina's creation process is unique, as each material has a different personality. Valentina never prioritizes perfection. Instead, she lets the materials guide her and likes how small flaws make the final result truly unique and like no other. She hopes that her pieces will always accompany their wearer.
