Magnolia Restrepo was born in
Colombia, in a small village in the Andes. She has worked with jewellery since
she was fifteen years old, undergoing a long family apprenticeship in the art
and craft of the silversmith.
Her inspiration comes from the
magnificence of nature, dialogue with people, the colours of stones, from
everyday life.
She delights in fusing and
transforming metals, giving life to a piece that becomes magnified by the
wearer.
Each piece is handmade.
Each design is produced in small quantities, and is often unique. Her jewellery
is mostly made with Sterling silver (925 parts silver, 75 parts copper) but she
also works with Britannia silver (958 parts silver, 42 parts copper) and fine
silver (pure silver), as well as copper and semi-precious and precious stones.
Magnolia Restrepo aims to ensure
that every customer is delighted with their jewellery. Each Magnolia Restrepo Jewellery design comes
with a 12-month guarantee, during which items are repaired FREE.
She also works to commission. Magnolia
would be delighted to discuss your ideas with you, to help ensure that you have
in your hands that special jewel that you always wanted.
Fabrication has been for Magnolia
a great opportunity to meet people, to find friends, and to help grow her
business in a new country and in a new language.
