OLGA PRIETO

Olga Prieto Jewelry

My jewelry tells my story, where I come from, what I love, what inspires me, and who I am. It fuses Mexico's past with my way of looking at the present.

When I was barely 25 years old, I moved to Venezuela and then to Mexico, where I discovered a fascinating world, full of color, energy, light, but above all, craftsmanship. On every corner, on every street, you can see an artisan making a unique piece, and I begin to realize how beautiful is what is unique, what has no mold, what is truly different.

I am a pharmacist and in some way I have always been attracted to alchemy and special formulas, and I am beginning to feel captivated by everything that surrounds me.

I dream of my jewelry as if I were painting a picture... the brass is the canvas, the anvil, the hammer and the fire are the brushes and the color of the stones... the watercolors.

Stones are the essence of my work. Sapphires, Emeralds, Aquamarines, Rubies... I choose them one by one, based on their whimsical shapes and their peculiarity, turning each piece into a unique and unrepeatable jewel.

Jewels have a soul, beyond the material value with which they are made, there is the immaterial, abstract, pure and ancestral value with which they are created. That is what makes them eternal.
