“Would you believe that almost a decade ago I was working in an office practicing my career as a lawyer? I never thought that life would lead me to the art of jewelry. What madness,” said Jewelry Maker Patricia Jara.

Patricia Jara is a lawyer, turned jewelry maker from Peru. Her pieces focus on bringing the freedom and beauty of the mountainous terrain from her childhood pueblo in Huancavelica. Nature inspires her art and brings her closer to her hometown. She creates pieces that showcase the textures that resemble the different altitudes of the mountains. Patricia values helping those in need through her jewelry and has made efforts to aid whenever possible. Now, her jewelry has been worn throughout South America, the United States, Switzerland, and many other countries. Find out more on her Novica page.

This international passion project sprung up as a dream to help other Hispanic artists share their art. The photographer, Vincent Petroni, and I both Argentine-born, and Patricia currently living in Lima, Peru, it became inspiring to elevate each other. Helping others is a value that I stand behind indefinitely and to showcase elegant pieces for a good cause is what modeling should be all about.

“What you do with love will always be transformed into love in some way and will be expressed as such. My jewelry is an expression of love embodied in art, influences of nature that interact in the same piece,” said Patricia.
