Story behind the art:Update (August, 2019)
I feel very happy and content because I have been able to do what I love, without missing those moments with my family. I've been able to grow and develop personally, and I feel very grateful that you value my work. In addition, it's amazing to think that there is someone in another part of the world who likes what you do.
I remember the first designs I created for you. What I remember most is not having proper procedures for developing them. Now, with the help of my assistants, we create technical specification sheets for each design in order to be able to guarantee jewelry of total quality.
I began to design with the main objective of telling a story through each one. My technique was professionalized and I learned to work under international quality standards. This also allowed me to control the inventory and pay more attention to detail.
Now I feel more confident than ever because you've been there for me since I started. Also, year after year my sales have increased. During the last three years with you, my sales have doubled.
One change I've made, which I didn't have before, is that now I have established an area for packaging and an area of photography for our jewelry. My oldest son already works with me and looks after the digital marketing, and I have standardized processes in my workshop to achieve the quality that you require.
My biggest goal right now is to create a process and methods to make jewelry from home, so that more women can work from their homes and, like me, enjoy their families. At the same time, I want to share with them the happiness of doing something they enjoy that helps their family finances.
Original Artisan Story
When I was a little girl, I loved going with grandpa as he worked in the fields of Guanajuato, because he always had great stories to tell. He would ask me what I wanted to do when I grew up, and that question inspired me to dream.
I liked selling. I enjoyed going to the market with him to sell what he harvested, and I also loved going with mom after school to sell clothes. That's how she contributed to the family's income. So I knew that when I grew up, I wanted to go to university even though my mother's family believed women were not supposed to study. My father's family, on the other hand, did support my decision.
Dad said that I could go to university as long as I found a way to pay for it, because he couldn't afford it. He only had enough to pay for transportation there and back.
I found a part-time job during the week and, at the weekends, I worked at my maternal grandparents' shop so I could pay tuition at Celaya's Technology Institute where I studied industrial engineering.
The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
