Welcome to my shop! I'm an architect switched to a jeweler, a design lover and I love to make slow contemporary minimalist jewelry, each piece of my minimalist jewelry is slowly handmade by me, I like to make few pieces of each design, which implies greater exclusivity and less impact on the environment. Committed to our world, my work is ethically done, I also use as many recycled, environmentally friendly, and non-toxic materials as possible.
Regular international delivery takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on distance and customs processes, your country's own postal service will be in charge of the final delivery, please consider that sometimes there could be shipping delays due to customs or weather conditions, unfortunately, that is beyond my control, to warrant your jewelry for a specific date please order in advance. Your support would be crucial for my small business, thanks in advance, and #standwithsmall 😉
All my items are beautifully wrapped, and giftable ready! Shipments are carefully packed, and safe, and recycled & reused materials are used for wrapping and packing. I ship once a week. I send worldwide with a traceable shipping number.
As a slow jewelry designer, I don't keep a large stock, so, many pieces would be made once bought, in that case, I'll need 5 working days to have your order done plus shipping, and those available pieces will be sent within a maximum of 3-5 working days. Lost wax designs may need an extra time of 10-15 working days for manufacturing plus shipping time, if you're in a hurry please verify with me the stock previous to buying.

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful earrings! They arrived in a lovely package and look just like the photo. Very good quality. I also got a note from the seller right away with information about when to expect the package, which was helpful.

5 out of 5 starsI just bought another pair of the mismatched earrings for a friend as a gift. They're beautiful. The workmanship is beautiful and the pieces are beautifully matched, yet different. It took awhile to get them, but the artist stated that before I purchased them. They arrived in perfect condition.

I'm a Mexican girl formed as an architect who switched to a jeweler in 2006. I work as a slow-ethical contemporary jeweler, making different & unique pieces for those who perceive jewelry as art. I love what I do and enjoy doing it with my own hands.

Cast workshop
Mexico City, Mexico
As I don't own the machinery and equipment needed for casting I get some help from a local workshop on that issue.

Frequently asked questions
Ring sizing
I work with American sizes, I recommend you to take a look at my blog for recommendations to find your ring size or look on the web. Sadly there are so many different size systems in the world that are hard to be familiar with them all.
It's very important to have your correct size in order to get the correct fit.
As a reference:
The most common fingers sizes are:
4,4.5,5, 5.5 for slim fingers
6, 6.5, 7, 7.5 regular fingers
8, 8,5 9, 9.5 for thick fingers
From size 10 + are very thick fingers
Consider stacking rings are better if worn in a 0.5 bigger size to avoid a tight fit, open rings could be a bit loose.

Manufacturing & delivery time
As a slow jeweler, my stock is limited & it varies constantly, therefore those pieces available will be sent within a maximum of 3-5 working days, in the case of not available jewelry it will be made after purchase. Regular delivery takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on distance and customs processes, however, due to the global pandemic, there are important shipping delays worldwide.
According to their manufacturing process, a few designs may require up to 10-15 working days to be ready for shipment.
During holidays manufacturing or shipping time may increase according to my work schedule and postal service demand.
Shipments are made at the economic standard cost, to reduce the delivery time ask me for upgraded shipping to expedite delivery.
Care instructions
I have detailed care recommendations on my blog, and, you can get some great tips on my social media or in my newsletter, join me!
Basic care:
Avoid contact with chemics, protect stones or no metals materials, and rub gently with a new never used dry green kitchen fiber to return it to the brushed finish once tarnish or bright. Keep your jewelry in a closed airtight case when not in use to avoid tarnish.
For blued (black) pieces do not allow it to contact with chemics and no silver or gold metals, do not brush or clean them, just return their bright with a soft dry flannel. This finish would be loose according to use and your own pH. Contact me in order to get instructions to return its color.
Custom and personalized orders
I do take custom or personalized orders from my own designs, I'll also gladly work on a special design for you based on my own style.
I offer hand stamp or engraving services for personalizing your pieces, they'll have an extra cost and are available upon request.
Because of the manufacturing process, I'm not able to offer resin custom pieces other than my line earrings.
Please consider custom orders are not returnable nor refundable.
Gift wrapping and packaging
All items are shipped protected carefully and beautifully wrapped ready to gift using ecological compostable, or recycled materials.
All my safety packaging comes from recycled or reused materials.
I have available mini gift cards with my data and a lovely legend in Spanish "de mí para tí", "from me to you", just let me know if you're doing a gift and you want me to include a gift card. I offer also to add a custom message note by request.
In Mexico you’re not allowed to bring sealed packages to the post, It is mandatory to pack and wrap them at the counter after showing the physical item to the staff, so my envelopes are not as beautiful as I would like to, sorry about that. :(
Do you use sustainable materials?
I'm committed to Earth as our place to live, so I use all the ecological options I'm able to find in my country. I work with reclaimed sterling and gold as well as recycled silver and substitute toxic materials for environmentally friendly ones.
All my package & wrapping comes from ecological compostable, recycled, and/or reused materials.
SHIPPING TIME ON HOLIDAYS
I'd love to guarantee you that your gifts will arrive on time for the holidays, so please consider the due date for regular international shipping is November 15th.
Using regular shipping, delivery time for USA & Canada is around 2 weeks while Europe requires between 4-3 weeks and Australia may need up to 6 weeks. Timing is approximate since sadly I'm not able to be in charge of delivery, it could increase for posts overload or customs process that's out of my control.
I can offer you expedited shipping with Mexpost, Mexican Post's courier service, local affordable courier service with 8 working days delivery time, or any of the known international courier companies, consider expedited shipping costs are NOT refundable in any case.
Are all shipments traceable?
All shipments are done using the Regular Registered Shipment from Mexican Postal Service which always includes a tracking number, however, the exchange of postal information worldwide isn't the same in all countries. Thereby, tracking information can only show the information within Mexico - and once it leaves MX, you must have to track it in your own country.
It's important to consider that not all destination countries allow following up foreign tracking numbers thru their postal service, even though they're the ones who receive and finally deliver the shipment. In those cases, it could be necessary to contact your country postal service for more info. CA and AU are examples.

For international buyers info
For your information: customs rules require all international shipments to include a customs declaration with the total value of the item shipped, and the kind of item included in the package.
I will include an invoice (no price indicated for gifts) indicating that you paid IVA or VAT on your purchase, but that does NOT include customs taxes, and the actual value will be stated in the customs declaration in the package. Declaring less than the actual value is violating the law, any international purchase may be subject to customs taxes that will be the buyer's sole responsibility, please check the laws of your country to be aware of it.
If you entered the wrong address or want to me to send your order to someone else.
Please double check your shipping address at checkout, prior to finishing your buy, I will only ship to the address you officially registered at Etsy. There's no refund if you entered the wrong address unless I received the item back in its original condition. I'll resend your buy once I have received the package back, and you'll be responsible to cover the new shipment costs.
If you want me to ship to someone else you'll need to assign that address as the recipient in your purchase, be sure to bring the whole person's name and address. You will be responsible for the data provided, its privacy data permissions, and its accuracy.
