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.

Solin
and Walter work with natural seeds and pods. Most
are natural, but
as
you can see in the new necklaces some seeds and pods are
dyed to
get
those fabulous tropical colors. 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 have provided me with the curative properties and folk-tales
attached to
these stones. You can read about each with the bracelets
and necklaces.
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. The newest pieces have a series of seeds and
the
closure loops over them for different lengh adjustments.
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.
