The Hummingbird & the Art of Free-Hand Weaving
For many years, I observed a hummingbird outside my studio window as it carefully constructed a tiny nest. Despite its size, the nest was a masterpiece of both precision and organic imperfections. Within this delicate structure, the hummingbird laid beautiful, fragile eggs, each one safeguarded by the nest’s embrace.
This intimate glimpse into the hummingbird’s world sparked my creativity. Drawing from the nest’s form and function, I began to experiment with weaving gold wire. Gradually, my technique evolved to incorporate gemstones, entwining them with the gold wire to create unique “nests for the stones.”
The resulting collections reflect a blend of modern aesthetics and ethereal qualities. While inspired by the natural elegance and resilience of the hummingbird’s nest, each piece is designed to be striking and bold, yet delicate and refined.

An Enduring Passion
My earliest memory of pearls dates to my infancy in Madrid, where seated on my mother’s lap amidst the formal, stern ladies of the royal court, each woman adorned with long ropes of pearls, captivated my attention. Even as a child, I found myself irresistibly drawn to the smooth, luminous beads, unable to keep my small fingers away from them.
Over the years, my fascination with pearls has only grown stronger. I find beauty in every shape and size. Their magnificence never fails to enthrall me, and I am continually inspired by the remarkable journey each pearl undergoes to reach its final form – creating heirloom yet modern designs to house these pearls is one of my greatest joys.
For me, pearls symbolize both resilience and enchantment. Their creation—from a single grain of grit to a radiant gem—embodies a transformation that is nothing short of magical. This process serves as a reminder of the extraordinary beauty that can emerge from adversity.
