"Alegria (Joy), jewels” (brooches, rings, bracelets and earrings). The "Alegria" (Joy) in contemporary jewelry is a
variety of approaches that celebrate life, creativity, and emotional connection. It is an inexhaustible source of inspiration and
creativity. This concept manifests itself in the design, choice of materials, colors, and shapes.
Many of the pieces in this show incorporate vibrant colors, playful shapes and innovative materials, allowing them to evoke
feelings of happiness and vitality. Each jewel tells a personal or collective story, transforming the everyday into something
extraordinary. They focus on sustainability and creativity, using recycled or unconventional materials, which adds a
dimension of hope and responsibility. This combination of aesthetics and social awareness reinforces the idea that art can
be a vehicle for "Alegria" (Joy) and transformation.
In this context, jewelry is not just an accessory, but a means to express emotions, connect with others, and celebrate the
beauty of life.
