Luz Camino Nature Inspired Jewellery Art
Luz Camino Nature Inspired Jewellery Art
Born in 1944, a talented Spanish self-taught jeweler Luz Camino became known as the René Lalique of our time for her innovative approach to design. She creates one-of-a-kind jewelry using a variety of materials and semi-precious stones and uses her skill in the 18th century technique of plique-à-jour enamel. Also, she works with precious stones – sapphires, emeralds, diamonds, and more. She even uses junk materials, such as cans, pencils and shoestring potatoes transforming them into stunning works of art! According to Luz, she does not care about the value of the materials, as the main thing in jewellery is its design.
Noteworthy, she has no special education classes, except of jeweler courses in Madrid, which she attended on the advice of her late husband. Besides, she does not like publicity, preferring to sell her jewelry in person without the involvement of intermediaries. However, her work has been showcased in private collections and museums worldwide. Among them – the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, London’s Victoria & Albert Museum, and New York’s Museum of Arts and Design.
