Back in July I was contacted by a lady from Miami, asking if  we can manufacture a heart locket with tagua nuts. She attached these images to her email. I must be frank, at that point we had not manufactured such an artwork before.

When dressing, every detail of our attire is important. From the shoes to the earrings, our attire has to look impeccable according to the trend we want to wear. In fashion, trends are sharp and there is no option for a mismatch.

In each outfit that we choose according to what the occasion merits, we must choose the right accessories. For this task, the most perfectionists are women. Always trying that the chosen accessories are complemented with each combination that we use.

We know perfectly well that in our daily attire, can not miss the accessories as part of the outfit. We make different combinations of accessories every day, but sometimes we prefer to use a special one like a ring, earrings, bracelet or simply a necklace.
