MARTHA  ROCIO LOBO -   “ JOYERIA CONTEMPORANEA “

Martha Lucia Lobo is a Colombian designer who has received several Colombian and international prices for her innovative jewellery. These include the “Great Prize UNESCO” that she won at the International contest of Craft Designs in Milan ( 2005).  She exports her unique handmade jewellery to London, Italy and Spain.

She uses coconut fibre, tropical wood ( fine woods of the Colombian tropical regions), mineral coal, and snail shells.  She also uses silver  ( 925 ) in all of her designs to create  elegant and unique pieces of jewellery.

Below you can view some of her pieces.  Martha Rocio Lobo  lives on an island called San Andres, which is located to the North East of Colombia in the Caribbean Sea.  You can observe how the sea and the tropics have had an influence in the creation of her designs.
