Product Details

Cristina Junquero necklace with the option to choose between gold-plated brass (3μm) and 925 Silver with a 45cm chain. About Cristina Junquero ORIGINS Her mother has a small jewelry store in Chipiona, Cádiz, since 1978, inherited from her grandfather. Her childhood was surrounded by the most traditional Andalusian jewelry. Being loaded with deeply religious symbolism, this was the spark that inspired her to create a new and groundbreaking proposal, full of humor. PROCESS All her pieces are handmade in her workshop in Barcelona. By working under local production, she can personally control each and every phase of her process. She first models all the pieces in wax by hand, and then casts them in 18 carat gold, silver or brass. When casting them in brass, she coats them in 18 carat gold, the sacred metal, recovering the tradition of her roots.
