Ximena started designing artisanal jewelry 7 years ago. Her talent became notorious among friends and family who would ask her to design customized pieces for them. She began with fragments of jewelry that belonged to their loved ones or materials that could only be found in her town.
Her love for design comes from early childhood when when she played with her cousins designing clothes for dolls, she would sketch and draw jewelry, dresses, hats, purses and other pieces full of color. She continues pouring her love and talent on the pieces she creates. She does this today as an adult letting that girl in me enjoy and play with colors, patterns, materials, forms, shapes and inspiration.
Her native Cali is one of the biggest producers of sugar (Spanish: azucar) cane in the world, this collection uses materials native to this region, inspiring the name of this collection. Shop Ximena’s Collection
