Maria creates and makes one-off or very limited edition pieces of jewellery. She is Peruvian by birth and upbringing but educated in European thought and culture. Her art stems from these two influences.

Trained as an artist, she brings a painter’s and sculptor’s perspective on colour and shape to her work.  Her designs use hand finished gemstones selected from sources worldwide, including the mines of Peru. Specially cut, faceted and hand finished by herself, they include geometrical shapes to enhance the qualities of the stones.

Maria has developed innovative ways of melting and forging sterling silver on to the stones as well as reticulating silver.  Her collections utilise delicate sterling silver and gold plated silver, complementing the solidity of the gemstones in her designs.

You can also see Maria's jewellery at Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Gill Wing Jewellery, Cecilia Colman Gallery as well as at selected craft shows throughout the year.

Maria is normally at Old Spitalfields market on Fridays and Sundays, between 11am and 5pm.

Friday: 10am - 5pm
