Elizabeth and Luis

Irene Elizabeth Campodónico Quintanilla and Luis Alberto Desmé Brummert were both born in Lima in 1963, Elizabeth on July 13, and Luis on October 10. Luis graduated in Electronic Engineering and has an MBA, while Elizabeth graduated in Business Administration and has an MBA too. "We used to work together in telecommunications, but I resigned in 2004 to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to jewelry design," explains Elizabeth. "Luis and I walk together on the path of this wonderful world of art.

"It all began on an ordinary day, when we were on holidays. We had decided to set forth without a specific destination, just traveling through the small villages around Lima. Eventually we arrived at a silversmith community with a historic legacy, and we became excited with the work they were doing. We watched in fascination as they used ancestral techniques to create amazing silver pieces. From that moment on, we felt the stirrings of a sense of re-discovery that has now practically become a beautiful life-project.

"We devoted ourselves to learning, not only about jewelry, but about this legacy, its essence, and the mysticism that envelopes all of nature's elements. Nature inspires us to design pieces that will convey on the wearer a sense of energy, strength, and love.

"We craft every piece by hand, with dedication. Our intention is that every person who wears our jewelries feels unique and special while feeling connected to the energy of the universe. Above all, we want our products to serve an ultimate purpose, to enable us to collaborate with institutions devoted to the well-being of children.

"We learn everyday from our customers and friends. They motivate us to continue with this project and it nourishes us with energy. This project has allowed us to get to know ourselves better, and we're convinced it's not coming from the present but from a long time ago, it is only that we are rediscovering it.

"This has led us to explore and research other fields, like gem therapy and about angels. That's why we strive to feel connected with nature, especially with its elements: air (sylphs), earth (gnomes), water (nymphs), and fire (salamander). They are all reunited in one way or another in our designs, as a way of connecting the energy fields – the source of synchrony and unity with the whole. Our interest in working with children was borne from this notion of awakening and special connectivity. We would like them to be in touch with their self, and with their guardian angel.

"We believe we do not only offer jewelry pieces, we offer what is behind them that is, the essence of everything."
