Hello!

My name is Maria and Im from Canary Islands, Spain.

Designing is one of my biggest passions. Since I was a child Ive been into Arts in many different ways and Ive always loved fashion and crafting.
Three years ago, I started making my own jewelry, with some materials like wood and glass beads. I sold many of my first designs between my friends and that encouraged me to go further.

Then, I came across Swarovski crystal and I fell in love with these beads. Last Christmas, a lot of my handmade jewels were sold to many different costumers in Spain, and even some international orders were made.

I love trying new techniques, learning and mixing materials. Custom orders are, for me, one of the most exciting aspects of handmade jewelry.

If you want to know more about me or my jewelry, you can see here some interviews and articles where my designs have been featured:
