I am a Peruvian-American born to jeweler parents. I had an interest in jewelry making at an early age. I was selling my work in the streets of Brazil by age 8. Aside from what I’ve learned from my parents, I have taken many classes for added perspective in natural, antique and ethnic jewelry. I get very excited and creative with the range of materials and colors before me. I use everything from precious and semi-precious stones, glass, shell, bone, coral, pearls, wood and horn. Is this fun, or what?
