ja,ja,jalea

Jalea Jalea is a jewelery label I just discovered. The jewelery is a mix between chunky, Marni-esque proportions and Natalia Brilli-type colors and materials... with Alex and Chloe prices! win-win situation.
The designer is also a fellow Mexicana like me so this makes her jewelery even cooler.
I've always had a soft spot for mexican jewelery, while I lived there I would get my fix at the market near the Zócalo (downtown). Whenever I had a free weekend, I would travel down to Taxco (a little city that thrives on its silver mines) and go nuts. Cheap, high quality silver!

Anyway, here are some of her pieces that I really love:

I love all but my fav is the second one!I love volcanic stone jewels. I love huge necklace, love mix of stones, plastic and metall. I love unknown names because I love unique pieces. My mom create jewels, she is a jewel designer. I love her ideas.I think that unique jewels make your simple clothes look like a haute couture!
I love your choice, you don't scare of opening new names. It is great!
