The process

Every piece begins as a small bar of 999 silver, melted and poured by hand in a workshop in Ecuador. The silver is drawn into fine thread, then bent, petal by petal, into the outline of a flower. Inside each frame, the artisan lays the filigree: tiny curls of silver set one by one until the metal turns to lace. Each petal is soldered over an open flame, cleaned, and gently curved so it catches the light and moves the way a real bloom does. Then, one by one, the petals come together into a single flower. It is slow work that asks for patience, a steady hand, and knowledge carried through generations. What you are watching is time, made into something meant to be worn, cared for, and one day passed on. A love letter to Latin America, made by hand.
