“Night And Day” Earrings

Emilio arrived in Lima in the 90s and started out cutting precious stones and working in bronze, before moving into making silver jewellery findings for the French jewellery market. His sense of ambition and ability with manipulating metal soon allowed him to get further into the industry. When CIAP visited his studio in Lima, he told them that he made the transition to jewellery design and production because he saw hippies handcrafting jewellery on the streets of Lima and took it upon himself to learn their craft.
