Marcela Rossl

"I'm Marcela Rossl, and I was born in Lima on March 19, 1967. I've always liked handicrafts and would draw, paint, craft candles and create ceramics. I began working in this world of art in 2003.

"I took courses in jewelry design and silver work, and I've always liked silver. This is the chance to try something new. I'd made my own costume jewelry before. But I have someone who was allergic to the materials and couldn't wear it. I decided to craft the designs in silver and when I saw how wonderful and elegant they looked, I haven't stopped. This is my passion and it is reflected in my daily life. My designs are part of me and each piece of jewelry is a moment in my life.

"When I'd wear my designs people would literally take them off me. 'I want this one, not another piece,' they'd tell me. It was difficult to repeat a design because I never liked to make another exactly the same.

"This art is something beautiful that makes us look prettier, that is, beauty that highlights beauty. For me, this is a great personal satisfaction that pushes me to constantly create new and better designs."
