What a year 2019 has been!



I am so grateful for the many good things I have experienced this year.  However, I am sad to say that I lost one of my aunties earlier this year because of a mass transportation bus running over both my aunts while they were crossing the street.  This tragic and unexpected loss has put a damper on my happy moments and accomplishments for 2019.

I am feeling super excited to have participated in some awesome local artisan markets and events that have allowed me to grow my jewelry business.

I'm just going to share a few of the moments that have made 2019 a great year to me and my handmade business despite all the heartache!

My uncle Angel has really been an angel this year.  He has helped me a couple of times
when I really needed help. Here at Plaza de Colon in Old San Juan




Once in a while I make new handouts
So grateful that I can participate in the Artisan Market
on weekends at Pase La Princesa in Old San Jua

The UPR Rio Piedras campus is one of my favorite places to set up.
Always so welcoming 
I started participating in the Agro and Artisan Market in
Bario Obrero and I enjoy the vibe of this little market place.

This is how I set up my table for the Artisan Markets

I finally got my Artisan Certification in Puerto Rico

I am very excited to have finally gained my certification status as a Puerto Rican Artisan!  I have been trying since 2011 to achieve this and now I am so happy, excited and marveled by how easy, yet so painful the process was. There is actually a Law that governs the artisans in the island.  Known as Law Number 166 from August 11, 1995, this law defines what is an artisan, the categories of artisanal products, how the artisans are regulated and what agencies are in charge of doing so.

There are over 30 categories of artisanal pieces. The certification lasts for five years, although artisans must go annually to receive a letter to be exempt from collecting IVU (local sales tax). The interested candidates must go to the Compania de Fomento Industrial (known locally as

In addition to my round gemstones I made earrings using rice-shaped fresh water pearls and while the result is still lovely, the earrings were a bit more challenging to make because the size of each individual pearl has to be &q
