FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JEWELRY
A fig tree grows at the door of my house. Every year, when its fruits ripen, I remember that everything has its time: to germinate, bloom and bear fruit. From that idea this collection is born, inspired by the cycles of nature and the patience of the hands that work the matter.
Each piece is handmade in brass and silver, painted with natural oxides, enamels and pigments that reveal the tones of the Mediterranean countryside: greens, ochres, golden, the sweet violet of figs.
These organic jewels are amulets of abundance and change. They carry the footprint of the workshop and the pulse of the island, as if the earth itself were transformed into metal. They are unique pieces, imperfectly alive, designed to accompany your own harvest rhythm.

HARVEST. INSPIRATION THAT IS BORN FROM THE EARTH
What nourishes us is born from the earth. It feeds us, teaches us care and reminds us that we are part of a major cycle. That is why my collection of Cosecha jewels is a tribute to the Pachamama, in the Andean worldview, the Pachamama is not only the fertile soil that gives us food, but a living being that breathes, feels and who is honoured with offerings. Each jewel is a reminder of our relationship with nature, that what sustains us is not bought or produced in series, but is born from the earth. The first jewel in this collection was born during my son's gestation. In the middle of the pandemic we lived in Formentera, in the La Mola area, one of the most distant places on the island. Our little house-workshop was on the edge of a cliff where there were almost no neighbours and the immensity of the sea embraced us every day.The isolation, which in other places was lived with confinement, for us was open air, home garden and daily walks. Between the global uncertainty and the distance of the family, Caetano grew in my belly and we learned to live in a different way: slower, more attentive to the small. At the door of the house there was a small and old fig tree, which gave delicious brevas, of an almost black purple colour. That fig was the first seed of this collection of jewellery inspired by fruits and vegetables. The fig is a fruit full of mystery. For me it was also a refuge in uncertain days: the unexpected sweetness offered by a tree that barely survives between the stones. Thus was born the first fig earring, hand-painted on metal, large, striking, as a declaration of abundance in times of scarcity. It was the first collection where I began to experiment with pigments and develop the technique I use today. A friend gave me some incredible colours that she had brought from India and, after five years, I still have a little. My figs continue to be born from those pigments, as if each jewel carried a pinch of a distant journey. It's funny how you can have affection for a colour, but I'm sure that the day it's over I'll feel that a cycle closes: figs will continue to be born, but with other tones, like life itself. Then came more pieces, as if the collection grew along with my son. He devoured artichokes with pleasure, and I translated those vegetable forms into textured metal and intense colours. Artichokes transformed into fun earrings, which today, when I take to the markets, generate smiles and complicity. OSn pieces that arouse conversation, that break the ice with humour. In our walks around the island also appeared the vineyards loaded with grapes, the bright pomegranates and the ancient olive trees that resist the wind. All that entered my workshop and turned into a jewel. Grapes, turned into necklaces and earrings, are a song to the celebration. From Greek mythology they are associated with Dionysius and wine, shared enjoyment, the full table. A grape jewel is a party bunch to wear on the body, an amulet for wine lovers and toasts that are repeated over and over again. The pomegranate always fascinated me. To open it is to discover a world of red seeds, like little hidden rubies. In ancient times it was a symbol of life and fertility, and also of the mystery of Persephone in the underworld. As a jewel, the grenade becomes a reminder of the multiple, of what beats in secret and opens suddenly with force. The olive tree, on the other hand, is Mediterranean root. Tree of peace, longevity and wisdom, whose branches have been accompanied by crowns, rituals and pacts. Transformed into bracelets and earrings, it becomes a gesture of calm and rooting, a reminder that we are always linked to the earth and time. Among my childhood memories are lemons and tangerines. Lemons, with their acidic freshness, always seemed to me rays of sun turned into fruit. Tangerines take me to the bright winters, to the juice in the hands, to the simple snacks at school, where peeling a tangerine and sharing the wedges is almost a ritual of friendship. Like jewels, both fruits shine with vibrant colours, large pieces that convey vitality and everyday joy. The pears, on the other hand, connect me with my aunt, who prepared them in the oven with red wine. That warm dish is now a ring or an earring that keeps the memory of the shared kitchen, of the family tenderness. In the artistic tradition, the pear has been a symbol of the feminine, of sweetness and abundance. Transformed into a jewel, it is a piece that speaks of intimacy and care. Our watermelons were born as a solidarity jewel, to raise funds for a cause that we believe is fair. It was our way of accompanying the Palestinian people from art, joining so many voices that resist from different trenches. The watermelon, with its red, green and black colours, became a symbol of support and hope. I never thought that such a summery fruit could become a political emblem, but so it was: solidarity watermelons travelled in the bodies of those who decided to use them as a gesture of resistance. Garlic could not be missing, that popular amulet against evils and envy, ancestral protector. In peasant markets, in rural homes, garlic was always present not only in the kitchen, but hung as a symbolic Defence. In my collection, garlic is transformed into a jewel loaded with strength, a small handmade talisman that recalls the wisdom of everyday life. And under the earth, like a secret, the beet appears, with its intense colour that stains hands and memories. It represents the underground, what is not seen with the naked eye. A beetroot jewel is root and mystery, the hidden that is suddenly revealed with power. In all these pieces there is a constant play with the size. I like to design large and striking jewellery, where the metal becomes canvas and receives shape, texture and colour. I paint each piece with enamels, acrylics or watercolours, looking for the intensity of the colour to give life to the jewel, as if it still kept the juice of the fruit or the sap of the plant. The Harvest Collection is in permanent movement. I always start with earrings, but little by little necklaces, bracelets and rings appear that accompany and complete each universe. They are not fashionable pieces, but part of a contemporary artisanal jewellery that respects the times of making and proposes an affective bond with each object. Each piece of jewellery is handmade in my workshop, with dedication and slowness, under a slow fashion philosophy. They are unique pieces, which we can customise so that they also tell your story. Maybe in your house the fig tree gave green fruits instead of purple, or your favourite wine is white instead of red. Write to us and we make it possible: each jewel can have details that make it even more special. Our production times are slow because each piece requires artisanal labour. We have a limited stock, but most of the jewellery is made to order and made to measure. If you are in a hurry, love, you can let us know and we will try to do our best to accompany you in that special moment. The Harvest Collection is not just a set of earrings, necklaces and rings. It is an invitation to carry the abundance of the earth in the body, to remember that behind each fruit there is a cultural history, a symbol and a memory. It is a tribute to the everyday that becomes extraordinary when we transform it into a jewel.
