Sol-Wal

Picture of Walter and Solin in their jewelry store.

Natural Cotton by MaChuy

There is true artistry in the jewelry made by

Solin and Walter. The work, all hand crafted

in a small tienda in Guadalajara,

is a visual treat for those loving

organic shapes and ingredients.

We have added some key rings made entirely from
a seed pod.  You will LOVE them!

Their workspace is as intricate as their jewelry.

Walter

Solin and Walter work with natural seeds that are not dyed

or treated in any way. They are called "semillas" in Spanish, and

can be anything from watermellon to some of the more exotic

nuts and pods.  Among these seeds they also employ a series of natural stones, which make up drops for the necklaces, and some

wonderful bracelets.  The boys claim the stones have healing powers, and they provided me with the curative properties that folk-tales attach to these stones.  You can read about each with the bracelets. 

The cords are waxed hemp.  The "closure" is usually a cord that pulls through another cord, and is snug.  Sometimes the cords will pull through a large seed. Until you get used to this type of

closure you may need extra hands to help tighten or loosen

the closure. 

What you will get are LOADS of compliments.
