The collection reinterprets the Spanish American Baroque of the Quito School. Each piece starts from a specific work in Quito’s historic churches: a gilded altarpiece, a painted dome, a Mudéjar coffered ceiling, a cloister arch. That work is then translated into handcrafted 950 silver and natural stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCruz grew up in the workshop of her father, sacred-art restorer Edmundo Cruz, among paintings, sculptures and gold leaf. That childhood, and years of study in Andalusia and Lisbon, shaped a collection that treats jewelry as devotion you can wear. It brings together Indigenous, Moorish and Catholic heritage in one mestizo aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInside the book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24 original pieces\u003c\/strong\u003e, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants and rings.
