Sagrada Jewellery

Sagrada was born two years ago, in one of the hardest moments of my life — when my mother was in a coma.

My mind needed somewhere to go. Somewhere beautiful.

So I went back to where I had always found peace — to rings. To stones. To the quiet, meditative act of creating something with my hands.

It was always rings. Never necklaces, never earrings. Rings — because they live on our hands, and our hands are what we see. Every day. Every moment. They carry our energy, our intention, our story.

The truth is, this story started much earlier. When I was five, I had a ring with a big red stone. I lent it to a friend. She never gave it back. I was heartbroken.

In primary school, I started making rings from little beads and selling them to my classmates. It was never just a hobby. It was always something deeper.

Sagrada is me rescuing that little girl — the one who found joy, meaning and magic in putting beauty on her fingers.

Every piece I create is an active meditation. While I am making jewellery, I am not thinking about anything else. That presence, that intention — it goes into every ring.

My hope is that whoever wears a Sagrada piece feels it. The magic of the elements. The beauty of nature. The depth of what it means to be human. Remembering who you are. Everyday.
