Here’s my story:
I was born and raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico and was named after the sky and the sea. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about art and design and making things with my hands.
My interest in jewelry started about the same time that I became curious to learn more about the world, other cultures and what makes them uniquely them. I embarked on my first adventure when I turned 15, traveling through Europe for a month without my parents. My Dad warned me that this trip would transform me and expand my point of view as an individual and as an artist...and it sure did! To this day, I truly enjoy adventures, experiencing other cultures and I always make it a point to collect unique jewelry during my travels. The jewelry always takes me back to those adventures and I love knowing that no one will have that artisan one of a kind jewelry piece.
When it was time for me to go to college, I knew that I had to do something creative for a living. I studied Graphic and Interactive Communication at Ringling School of Art and Design and moved to California in 2010 to work as an Art Director. Shortly after moving to the Bay Area, I decided to take an intro to jewelry making class. I was excited to finally combine my design aesthetic with my passion for jewelry and was beyond excited to see it all come together in my creations.
I fell in love with jewelry making after my first class and continued taking a wide range of classes in order to build expertise and gain the skills necessary to develop my jewelry line.
I established my jewelry studio in 2014 and launched Cielomar Jewelry as a response to my passion for high quality modern jewelry, designed to be versatile and elevate your style. I value originality and believe that jewelry can change the way you feel and present yourself to the world. I LOVE sharing my art and seeing women rocking my designs in their own unique way.
