My name is Elizabeth Alejandra Guilhem and I work with silver wire and semiprecious stones from around the world (Southern Africa, South America and Asia) in a very unique style of filigree jewelry.
3rd. generation of wire wrapper in my family. With beginnings in Argentina by my grandmother fallow by my mother and for the last 20 year by myself.
The techniques and style are a fusion of two cultures: the Ottoman and the Spanish. The occupation of Spain by the ottoman empire for 800 years had a very distinctive fusion in their arts, and very unique techniques were created. I use the same techniques to create a very unique style of filigree jewelry.
