Leslie Perry

"I'm Leslie Perry Gaviño. I was born in Lima on August 2, 1985. I learned my art at the Instituto Gionelli; I'd describe my designs as free, fresh and new. I've worked full time I jewelry since 2005 and find inspiration in everything around me – absolutely everything.

"I became involved in the world of jewelry out of curiosity. Ever since I was a little girl, I've always liked to wear rings and earrings. I didn't realize I could make the same things that I saw, and so I began making bracelets, the easiest pieces. As I grew older, I realized my creative ability was greater than I'd thought. I could spend hours at a time trying to craft a new model. I took a course in jewelry, and it was there that I found myself.

"At that time, I was in college but I looked inside me and decided to risk it all. I left the university for my jewelry. This has been one of my greatest challenges, to dedicate myself to something that makes me much happier and freer. I've always been a person who takes risks when making decisions. I took this one in a responsible way, and today it is bearing fruit.

"My designs are a reflection of who I am. They are the result of everything that surrounds me, and even of my feelings at certain times. They are free, eager to shine. They are a mirror of silence, of nature, the joy of my home, of my light."
