My passion for jewelry design began as a personal quest to express my own style and expand my accessory collection. In the midst of life’s chaos, I was always searching for pieces that could instantly elevate an outfit—adding that effortless WOW effect, even when paired with the simplest look. This is how Colara by ME was born, and it continues to be my inspiration as I create new statement pieces.

My designs—whether necklaces, earrings, or brooches—are influenced by the world around me. The Mediterranean landscapes that surround me are a constant source of inspiration: blooming almond trees, wild prickly pear cacti, and lush monstera leaves. My love for art also plays a major role—especially pop art, modern sculpture, and contemporary design. Once I choose the central element for a piece and connect with its story, I carefully select the materials to bring my vision to life.

I embrace unexpected combinations, working with a diverse range of materials, never shying away from bold shapes and vivid colors. Designing jewelry is my creative escape, a place where I find balance and joy. Each piece is handmade using various techniques—laser cutting, crocheting, woodworking—with special attention given to every material, ensuring that all elements blend seamlessly into a harmonious design.

I hope that when you wear one of my creations, you feel unique, empowered, and ready to take on the world. Every single item is designed, handcrafted, and shipped with love by me and my wonderful sister, Sonya.
