Gio Gomez

From an early age, I was interested in drawing dresses and making clothes for my own dolls.

My sisters loved asking me for advice on how to style themselves. As I grew up, I usually drew the dresses I wanted to wear and my mum would take me to a seamstress to have them made.

​

I have always dressed in a different way to those around me. I love feeling both comfortable and stylish,  as well as combining elements from different decades.  I enjoy being unique, and am passionate about making and wearing timeless accessories. 

​

I have a degree in Fashion Design, specialising in Clothing, and have worked for many years with re-known Venezuelan fashion designers.

 

Then in 2006 I became a mum for the second time. Having two young children at home, I didn’t have the time to work on designing and making clothing pieces, but I felt I needed to do something creative.

​

Thanks to a close friend, who introduced me to jewellery making, I first started playing and experimenting with it. I truly feel that jewellery design chose me.

​

The more time I spent on it, I felt that my creativity was developing a different way to express itself.

 

After making many necklaces for myself, and having people complementing them on several occasions, I felt encouraged to make jewellery to sell.

​

My designs are bespoke and each piece has its own style. No pieces are equal. I combine different materials and textures (gemstones, wood, glass, acrylic, resin, clay, cooper, sterling silver, metal), as well as textures, colours, epochs.

​

It is fun to use my knowledge of fashion and haute couture on my jewellery designs. 

 

I like to create pieces that are both functional and beautiful; and can adapt to your clothing style.

​

Having lived in different countries in different continents also influence my designs. I have participated in several fairs and public events, as well as private parties for children and grown-ups.

​

I love making each client who wears my jewellery pieces to feel unique. Fashion, clothing and accessories are also a way to make others feel empowered and more self-confident.
