The Living Jewels of Naida C. Castel
In her studio in Barcelona, designer Naida C. Castel creates handcrafted jewelry designed to connect with those who wear it
All Naida C. Castel's pieces are made and sculpted by hand in her Barcelona studio. In the act of creation, the young designer thinks of jewelry as living objects, focusing not only on their tangible value, but also on the connection they might have with the wearer and the emotions they might arouse. Dynamic and sculptural in appearance, each creation is the result of sustainable craftsmanship that recycles the metal scraps produced in the workshop. «It is handcrafted jewelry, designed and made with care using good quality materials, such as gold, silver and raw crystals or precious stones. In the studio, we try to recycle metals as much as possible and create less waste.»
