For jewelry designer RITA MARTINEZ, every object is a vessel for a story, a tapestry woven from emotions, memories, and constant, deep research. Her pieces transcend season and place, serving as chapters in a personal journey, where tales are transformed into wearable art. Martinez’s work draws from a rich and varied universe of inspiration, from the scents of childhood and the history of shamanic beliefs to the spiritual symbolism of alchemical processes and the poetic verses of Dante. Her collections are a deliberate exploration of concepts like oxymorons and Jungian archetypes, where she seeks to physicalize a feeling or sensation, creating objects that connect with the wearer on a deeply personal level.
