Jewelry Featurette: Mercedes Salazar

By combining traditional and modern techniques and working with a vast array of materials, Mercedes Salazar creates beautifully unique designs, brimming with imagination and whimsy. The Colombian born designer says that she enjoys playing with light, color and texture to reflect her admiration of handmade jewelry. She works loosely with religious symbolism and takes cues from Latin American and Western culture.    

Recently, Lorraine Stanick, the host of TheCurrentCustom video blog on youtube.com came in to visit the store and fell in love with our Mercedes Salazar Mini Rosary Evil Eye Bracelets. You can check out her post mentioning our store and others here.
