Mexico and clouds with Daniel Espinosa

Published on August 14, 2022

Anello multidita in bronzo placcato oro 22 carati

Mexico and clouds, Mexico and colors, Mexico and jewels: those of Daniel Espinosa, a designer born in a village with a deep tradition in silverware, the material used for centuries in Central America. Espinosa learned the art of jewelry in Italy, Germany and the Netherlands in the early 1990s. But he fused the modernity of European design with Mexican tradition. In 1997 he launched his first collection. In the Latin country he became a star and also opened a shop in Panama.

But it is interesting to observe his style: the goal of his work is to exalt manual work by Mexican artisans who work with silver in Taxco, his hometown. But it’s not about ethnic jewelry, the craftsmanship gives way to a modern style. Each piece is composed with a bronze or silver base and then treated with baths or covered with gold leaf. In some cases brass is also added to the silver alloy.

Daniela Villegas: appeal to save the nature of Mexico

Published on June 11, 2020

Showroom

Years ago Daniela Villegas defined Mexico, her homeland, a chromatic paradise. A definition that then became a collection inspired by the animal world of the Central American country, in particular that of insects. The love for Mexico, combined with the fantasy of the Los Angeles-based designer, has not left her and the chromatic paradise continues to be renewed in her jewels. On the other hand, recalls Daniela Villegas, Mexico is home to about 10% of all the species existing in the world and is in first place for the richness of reptiles and amphibians, in third place for mammals, fourth for plants and eighth for birds.

For this reason the designer points her finger at the Mexican government, which has announced a 75% cut of the budget to the National Commission of Protected Areas, an essential institution for the well-being and environmental conservation of Mexico, as well as for urban and rural populations and indigenous people who live inside and outside these spaces. Thus, alongside the jewels, Daniela Villegas launches a #salvemosCONANP petition.

That Daniela Villegas is attracted by the colors of her country of origin, Mexico, is known. Her jewels are always based on contrasts of shapes and colors strong, cheerful, uncompromising. Add to this a fantasy that gallops like a wild horse across the plains of Texas. Combine these two aspects and you will have Chromatic Paradise, a collection that appeals to the wild nature of those lands, but also to the traditions born beyond the Rio Bravo. Daniela Villegas, who works and lives in Los Angeles, not only does not forget those harsh and enthralling atmospheres, but continues to observe them under a microscope. Her jewels are fanciful reconstructions or interpretations. This is also the case for the Chromatic Paradise collection, where for once the insects (her main source of inspiration) become a subject that is always present, but secondary. Instead, snakes and coyotes emerge with the difficult art of stone carving, with the classic mix of precious stones, semi-precious stones and natural elements. In this case, an even more effective formula. Giulia Netrese

The colorful world of Daniela Villegas

Daniela Villegas: precious insects, nature, plants, between Mexico and fantasy ♦ ︎
Daniela Villegas has a double luck: she lives in a own colorful world even when the story seems to paint the life of humanity in black and white. She also has the privilege of being born in a country, Mexico, which is perhaps colored by law. You can not be avoid to get dazzled by the tinged Mexican shades that lie in the natural landscape, in the plants, and even in the wildlife, from big to tiny animals.
It is impossible, then, to create jewels without carrying the color palette on brooches, necklaces and rings. And more, Daniela has a fantasy that seems born from Alice in Wonderland, the knowledge of stones and a personal preference for craftsmanship. An so it is understood why Daniela Villegas’s jewels can be so above the norm, to be surprising and, of course, be so sought after by enthusiasts and collectors. The lines of his collections are, though not exclusively, inspired by two subjects: insects and Mexican nature, which she knows well even though she is living between Los Angeles and Paris.

Deszo for Gemfields

The creativity of Sara Beltrán and her Deszo jewelry combined with precious stones of Gemfields.
In an attempt to discover at the new generations the beauty of precious stones, the Gemfields giant has commissioned to ten designers to create collections designed specifically. Of course with the commitment to use precious stones. They are all just traditional designers that prefer geometric shapes, clean, and probably pleasing to customers still far from retirement. One such designer is Sara Beltrán, soul and mind of Dezso, who started as a hobby before turning to jewelry as a professional. Founded in 2006, the brand is inspired by the passion for travel and love for the ocean. Sara Beltrán was born in El Paso, Texas, but she has homes in New York, Mexico and Jaipur, India. She manufactures her jewelry, especially pendants, gold and sometimes silver, with stones that she gives shape, often irregular, or polki diamonds (irregular, rough). The workmanship is handmade and, underlines the designer, there are not two equal pieces. Alessia Mongrando
