Pearl jewelry set, ‘Gothic Lace’
Written on November 18, 2007
Pearl jewelry set, ‘Gothic Lace’ NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Mayela Quijas translates the lacy spires of a Gothic cathedral into a delicate and feminine design. Hand-crafted of Austrian crystal and pearls, the choker and earrings are wonderfully original. Fine sterling silver bathed in brass completes the versatile set. The choker features two clasps so it can do double duty as a pair of bracelets. .925 rating silver Artisan Info: “My development in the field of jewelry has, for the most part, been self taught. Although I studied the basic techniques, the designs come from my own creativity and my conception of the world around me. The process begins when I encounter a certain stone or resin or kind of metal. When I touch it, this is when I ‘feel’ it and the piece I will create with it takes shape in my mind. “I was born March 4, 1977 in Monterrey, and from my infancy I’ve been surrounded by and involved with different art forms, as my parents are people who cultivate the arts. I finished my university degree and postgraduate studies while developing my creative abilities and my liking for artisan-style jewelry. It is only in the past few years that I’ve begun to show and sell my designs. I think that living for a while in Cuernavaca and Guadalajara, and the opportunities I’ve had to visit Mexican towns and cities, had an influence in the development of my creativity, as I was exposed to the cultural wealth in each place.
