With incredible amounts of creativity and talent, Mercedes Salazar's designs use traditional handcrafted techniques, versatility combined with the most unusual materials.

 

These beautiful and unique pieces "will connect you to the Universe", in the designer's own words. With different materials she creates an interesting contrast of light and color which Mercedes skillfully puts together thus creating a jewel that reflects all her love for existence and will never go unnoticed. Her work is diverse, sophisticated, voluptuous, and always tries to show the two sides of the coin, the balance between lightness and weight, roundness and squareness. To her, opposites are fundamental.

 

Mercedes Salazar is a young woman who watches what goes on around her and takes inspiration in the everyday life to turn those seconds and words into jewels. She spends the whole day with her artisans creating jewels, exploring and retrieving ancient techniques. The never-ending search for her own roots is the main nourishment of her spirit. Her lines are refined and subtle, and they reflect her admiration for hand-made jewelry.

 

At present, Mercedes Salazar's work can be found in fine boutiques and distribution points in more than ten countries around the world, including the United States, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Venezuela, Australia, Japan, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and Mexico.
