About XLDesigns

Sales 216
On Etsy since 2014
  • I always have a sketch notebook, a pencil, pliers, and an old school caliper on me. I am always working through ideas.
  • I create metal prototypes from the sketch which will later be recreated into a 3D based CAD file.
  • From the CAD file, low resolution prototypes (white) are produced. I review the prototypes before finalizing the design.
  • Finished pieces emerge!
  • The best part is seeing the pieces worn and how the wearer makes it her own ;-)

Beautiful, light weight earrings, guaranteed to turn heads.

Xiomara Lorenzo Designs started 10 years ago in a Wesleyan University dorm. I was drawn to the hoop earring shape and decided to re-imagine it using continuous, intersecting lines.

I created a design whereby one could not tell where the lines began or ended. I pursued this design initially through craft wire. At a certain point, you couldn't walk around my senior house without getting beads and wires stuck to your socks!

After Wesleyan, I continued to refine the design, eventually learning how to solder and fuse metals. For a person, who when in the kitchen cooks hot bubbling items with a full on fire repellant outfit in order to avoid getting even the most minor burns, it feIt thrilling to wield a gas burning torch!

While taking weekend classes at the Jewelry Arts Institute in New York City in 2012, I relearned what I had taught myself to do back at Wesleyan. I deconstructed the pieces originally made from craft wire and learned how to recreate the continuous loop effect by layering the metals, soldering or fusing as I went.

The essence of continuous movement is not lost in the integration of 3D printing into my process in 2014. As a person who loves all kinds of jewelry adornment, I want to give wearers light weight pieces that are distinctive and can be easily enveloped within your personal style.

Thank you for visiting my shop and for your support,
Xiomara

Additional policies and FAQs
The pieces are made to be light on your body yet durable when you throw them in a gym bag. They are flexible but should not be rough-handled or you will run the risk that they will lose their shape.

Don't leave the items in the sunlight for long periods of time. For example hanging them by a window could make the color fade over an extended period of time. Wearing a piece in the sun is not a problem, but the items shouldn't be constantly exposed to strong UV-light. #notanningbeds.

Do not sleep in or shower with the pieces, as this could affect the longevity of their color as well as their shape.

If make-up rubs onto the pieces, gently rub an alcohol swab or soaked q-tip on the affected parts to remove the make-up.

Please (please) wear the earring backing that comes with your piece or use another backing that you'd prefer.

Keep the pieces away from children.

Message me if you have any questions.

Rock on.
