Gloria Olazabal is a Peruvian jewelry designer and metalsmith who blends old-world craftsmanship with contemporary, eco-conscious design. Inspired by the concept of relational inseparability, she creates jewelry that reflects a deep connection between each piece and its organic source.

Her artistry, shaped by generations of women before her, arises from the relationship among the organic, the intuitive, and the playful. Gloria selects gemstones during her travels for their distinctive shapes and colors, highlighting each stone's unique energy and personality. Each gemstone is hand-cut by skilled artisans and set into custom handcrafted pieces, making every creation one of a kind.

Committed to responsible, mindful fabrication, Gloria uses recycled and reclaimed sterling silver and gold, ensuring each piece is both sustainable and beautiful.

In addition to her work as a jewelry designer, Gloria is a co-founder and curator of Cielo Handcrafted. She resides in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with her husband and their young son, Joaquin.

"Through my jewelry, I seek to create pieces that are as unique as the natural world, with a mindful approach to both craftsmanship and sustainability." - Gloria Olazabal
