Some unique handmade necklaces and rings

Below are some examples of our handmade chic jewellery.  This summer is all about colour.  If you are not too keen wearing a lot of colour, a beautiful piece of  jewellery can be an alternative.  As Christmas is around the corner, jewellery might be a nice present for yourself , for a family member, or for friend.

"El Angel Azul " (BLue Angel)

EL ANGEL AZUL” (Designers and owners : CRISTINA BURBANO DAZA Y EDUARDO RODRIGUEZ )

“El ANGEL AZUL” ( BLUE ANGEL ) is  a Colombian jewellery business which takes inspiration from both nature and from some elements of Pre-Colombian heritage in order to create  exclusive and unique jewellery.

You will be able to admire below  some of the pieces I am importing  from “EL ANGEL AZUL”.  For example, the necklaces  named  “ALUNA” are inspired by the moon and its different faces.  Other necklaces and bracelets called “JUNGLA” have been inspired by the Colombian  jungle and its bio-diversity.  The “ASTROMELIA “ pieces have been inspired by the flower Astromelia which is a typical of the Andean region of Colombia.

The necklaces called “ARRECIFE” have been inspired by the Colombian reefs with their  wonderful diverse colours.

Every piece of jewellery is entirely hand made.  The materials used by “EL ANGEL AZUL” include cotton threads, wood, leather, steel and some metals.
