Hay técnicas que utilizas durante un tiempo y otras que, sin darte cuenta, terminan formando parte de tu historia. Para mí, la cota de malla es una de ellas. Hace 20 años, cuando comenzaba Anillarte, empecé a trabajar con pequeñas anillas de acero, uniéndolas una a una para crear tejidos metálicos. Pero muy pronto quise llevar aquella técnica a otro lugar. Comencé a mezclar las anillas de acero con anillas de caucho. La estructura metálica adquiría elasticidad, se adaptaba al cuerpo y permitía crear piezas que tenían algo de joya, algo de tejido y algo casi arquitectónico. Así nació una de las señas de identidad de Anillarte: la malla elástica...

Hay algo especial en llevar una joya hecha con tus propias manos. No hace falta saber de joyería ni tener experiencia previa: solo tener ganas de descubrir cómo se transforma el metal y disfrutar del proceso. En mi taller de Anillarte, en Algete (Madrid), puedes crear tu propia pieza conmigo en una experiencia de joyería artesanal pensada para una o dos personas. No son cursos profesionales ni talleres en grupo. Son experiencias privadas en las que te acompaño durante todo el proceso para que puedas trabajar a tu ritmo y llevarte una joya creada por ti. ¿Qué taller de joyería puedes hacer en Anillarte?

Why I decided to share part of my artisanal processes For a long time, it was difficult for me to show my processes. Not because I wanted to keep secrets, but because behind many of the things I do are years of trials, errors, and a lot of time experimenting alone in the workshop. I learned many techniques by making mistakes again and again. Testing materials, breaking pieces, losing metal, and adapting tools until I found my own way of working. Over time, I understood that many of the things that truly make a process work are not always learned in school. Sometimes it's not just about knowing the theory,...

There's something special about transforming a simple silver strip into a ring made with your own hands. Hammering the metal, shaping it little by little, creating textures, watching it change with each blow of the hammer...The forging process has something direct, imperfect, and deeply artisanal about it. That's why this experience at Anillarte was born:a workshop designed to discover the process of creating a silver ring from scratch, enjoying every part of the process without the need for prior experience. WHAT DOES THE EXPERIENCE INVOLVE? During the workshop, you will work on a silver strip, transforming it step by step until it becomes a finished ring. The process includes: measuring...

Natural stones have something difficult to explain.Color, veins, shapes, small imperfections... each one seems to hold its own identity. In jewelry, the cabochon is one of the most traditional and artisanal ways of working with a stone. It is not faceted or seeking industrial perfection. It is worked little by little until a soft, organic, and balanced shape is found that allows the stone to speak for itself. That's why this new experience was born at Anillarte: a workshop designed to discover the process of artisanal lapidary by creating your own cabochon from scratch. What is a cabochon? A cabochon is a polished stone with a smooth, rounded surface, usually...

Before becoming metal, many jewelry pieces start as just an idea. A shape.A volume.A texture. Wax modeling is one of the most widely used processes in artisan jewelry to create pieces from scratch, allowing for much freer and more sculptural forms. That's why this experience at Anillarte was born:a workshop designed to design and model your own ring in wax before it is later transformed into silver by casting. WHAT IS JEWELRY WAX? Modeling wax allows you to work the piece very intuitively: cut file sculpt hollow out add texture modify proportions Unlike working directly with metal, here the process is closer to sculpture. The jewel is built little by...

Valentine's Day has always seemed to me to be too commercial a holiday. But it's also true that sometimes we need an excuse. An excuse to treat ourselves to something nice. To do something nice for someone. Or to celebrate affection in a simple way, without grand gestures. These heartfelt pieces are not made with a specific date in mind. They are handmade, one by one, with time and without rushing. Like everything that comes out of my workshop. If this Valentine's Day gives you the push you need to choose one of them, perfect. And if not, that's fine too. The pieces don't understand calendars, But sometimes the moment...

Silver has gone up... a lot. In recent months, the price of silver has skyrocketed in a way we haven't seen for years. Those of us who work in handcrafted jewelry have noticed it fully: the raw materials we use every day have become expensive quickly and considerably . At Anillarte, silver is the basis of almost all my work, so this change directly affects the cost of producing each piece. It's not a labor cost increase I want to clarify this with complete transparency: My work, my hours, and my processes are not increasing. What has changed is the cost of the metal , and that makes maintaining current...

Black Friday isn't for everyone Every year Black Friday arrives, and with it, the avalanche of discounts and promotions that seems obligatory for any business. But when you work like I do: alone, piece by piece, with money, fire and hours in the workshop… the accounts don't work the same way. I don't mass-produce. I don't have an infinite stock. I don't buy thousands of units from a factory. And most importantly: every piece of jewelry I make is unique . That's why this noisy, commercialized day just doesn't suit me . I prefer honest prices all year round My way of working is clear: Always a fair price, without...

🔍 How did this whole stretch mesh thing start? Spoiler: I didn't invent anything... But I did take this technique to another level, adapting it to my style, many years ago. And yes, there was inspiration (as there should be). There was no copying or fantasies of pioneering 🤷🏻♀️😉 Here I tell you how it all came about.

📌 Express tutorial: how to put on stretch mesh pieces (and be amazed at how comfortable they are!) ⛓️ They adapt themselves, without closures and are that easy to put on.

The new Smaller collection is born from a very simple idea: create small, light and comfortable pieces… but with character. Each pendant is crafted using sand casting , a traditional process that has been with me for years and in which I've specialized over time. It's a technique that allows me to sculpt the texture directly into each piece, creating organic, somewhat raw, imperfect, and therefore unique shapes. I work with solid silver , piece by piece, and each design features a small, set spinel in a choice of colors. The chain is made of steel with a wire core: minimalist and durable. Smaller is a sincere, direct collection, without...
