This darling harlequin Baby Byzantine Ojo De Dios

This darling harlequin Baby Byzantine Ojo De Dios in 18k yellow gold is nearing completion. It features a special family birthstone combination request: moonstone, sapphire and garnets. I chose rhodolite garnets and soft blue sapphires to better compliment the moonstone center. I love this combination. It’s inspired me to do more in this colorful vein. You’ll see. As always, DM with inquiries. Holidays are fast approaching and I’ll need time to complete all of these flights of fancy fancy fancy. XX Rocío #rimajewels #harlequin #crossnecklace #crossearring

I went with my friend to her favorite antique jewe

I went with my friend to her favorite antique jewelry dealer on the lower east side sometime last year. The dealer and I talked shop. He had so much top vintage deco. Headed home today after running some needed errands I looked at my favorite stars against this red plastic bag that resembled a pleated latex skirt and remembered something true: that among all the pieces I had on that day this deco dealer liked my vitriol star diamond pave piece the best. As I headed out the door I asked him why and he responded because it sparkles like hell obvi.

I began these masks in early April during quaranti

I began these masks in early April during quarantine with some 24k gold I had on hand that I hammered out into a small irregular sheet and subsequently formed using improvised chasing tools and a leather notebook as backing. The first slide is a mask that I made more recently with more adequate tools and resin to hold the gold sheet in place while I work. All of the masks take shape as I work and teach myself these new yet wholly ancient techniques. No single face is premeditated —more a record of the curious spirit that is looking over my shoulder in the moments I am discerning its form and character at my work bench. I was initiated into the art of gold smithing from a 4th generation jeweler in a coastal port town in Latin America. I remember the distinct pleasure of meeting and conversing with a seemingly endless parade of people that would pop into the workshop where I apprenticed: merchant seamen, sailors, commercial fisherman, local vendors, repeat clients etc. Sitting quietly with these gold faces and the solitary work of teaching myself new skills brings me back to that sweltering 100 degree workshop and the multitudes of beloved people that populate my memories from this period in my life and the many more since. All together they form a limitless series I liken to my personal vigilance committee. Swipe through to see some more members of RIMA JEWELS: The Vigilance Committee. All one of a kind and strung on hand formed hoops. These masks are very light and sway freely. DM with inquiries. #rimajewels
