I'm moving blogs...

My new jewelry line is Aluna, I will be posting more jewelry related news over here. Please follow me!

I am from Colombia, so here is a little history on my new name..
According to the Kogi, the indigenous people in Colombia who live
near Cartagena in the Sierra Madres:
In the beginning there was only aluna, the amniotic sea, the Cosmic
principle: the Mother. The Mother concentrated, the nothingness which
was the original sea of thought, spirit and fertility pondered and
conceived the idea of the world. It began with a womb, a world-house,
which was a cosmos. This was the great egg of the universe.

In aluna, she then conceived nine levels, nine worlds, within this
womb. They were her daughters. Each world has its own character, its
own colour, its own soil: her Children had their own personalities.
The mysteries of Creation and fertility are to be understood as a
process of aluna dividing, by an effort of concentration, into
separate spiritual bodies. She also conceived of sons, among them
Serankua. The Dawning began with the definition of these powerful
beings, whose existence defines the Mother as a being too.

Photoshoot with the lovely Carla Choy. Sneak peek of new pieces, very soon.
