About MUSA
MUSA JEWELS
Ancient | sacred | mediterranean
Jewelry inspired by the ancient times and mysticism. My jewels not only try to be connected to beauty, but also to the spiritual world, carrying within themselves the seed of the intention and power of oneself.
I look for inspiration in the art of the ancient civilizations, mythology, symbolism, astrology, the underwater worlds and nature. My designs emerge from the fusion between the past and the present, this is what I try with every piece that I create, a trip to the stories of the humanity and our collective unconscious that want to be remembered,
Our jewels are made with diferent types of metals (specially brass, silver, and gold plated). I choose each stone for its quality and beauty, and also by what the stone transmits and its healing qualities. I alo work with natural materials as shells, sea treasures found in the deep sea, corals, and everything I find wonderful and special.
The selected stones help the jewel to connect with you and to what you want to work with.
I try to nourish my inspiration through dance, meditation, art exhibitions, Using my imagination and love to go to a creative state, searching and finding the muses that encourage this project. Each creation has my purest intention, going to the deepest and most intimate part of myself and reflecting it on something that will be for you.
About Me
I am Thalía, born in 1986 in barcelona, and my name is not Mexican, it comes from Greece.
The blood that runs through my body is half Greek and half Spanish, the reason for this is because my mother decided to travel alone at the age of 18, to Greece, Hitchhiking arrived to Athens with a friend. When she reached Athens ,destiny put my father on her path, and there began the story of my life.
Since I was a child I have been in contact with this job, My father was a jeweler before he met my mother, and he transmited to her the passion for jewelry, and she to me in her home studio when I was 6 years old, and I was dedicated to painting the walls of her workshop, I remember seeing how she worked. I admired her a lot in her work.
Years later, in 2008 aroused my curiosity for jewelry. I started to explore by myself playing with metals, and learning basically in a self- taught way, from there the doors opened to my creativity, I have taken classes on Berber jewelry, Etruscan wax jewelry, and layered and relief modeling. I continue to train and learn about the ancient techniques used by our ancestors.
I was fascinated by jewelry and objects from other eras, Greek, Egyptian, Roman, Etruscan, Bronze Age...their imperfections, the turquoise color that formed due to the passage of time, all the symbols and the story they carried...I was very attracted to archeology, the objects that were under layers of earth after more than 3000 years.
All this made me decide to continue with this ancient job, in which the hands and imagination are the most important, creativity is a wonderful ancestral gift, and I feel the illusion of continuing the legacy that my family and my culture transmitted to me.
I hope my jewelry brings beauty and inspiration to your life
