GOLD AND PYRITE CREOLE
GOLD AND PYRITE CREOLE
The jewels that make up ‘Fool's gold’ were created with the intention of reconsidering the idea of ornament and the dichotomy between price and value in the contemporary conception of fine jewellery, in which more importance is given to more expensive materials.
Here, on the other hand, the protagonist is a mineral whose cubic formations are exceptional and are the very centre of the composition, leaving gold in a secondary place at the service of creating bases to support it and also the diamonds that grow on its faces and vertices like small invasions, in the same way that mushrooms grow on tree trunks or mussels are naturally anchored to the rocks on which the sea water hits.
Creole earring made of 18k FAIRMINED yellow gold that holds within a natural cubic pyrite cut from stone by the artist herself in anartisanal mine in Navajún. Sold per unit. We respect the natural shape of each pyrite without modifying it, so each piece is unique and unrepeatable.

KNOW MORE
KNOW MORE
"Fool’s gold" is how pyrite is known as since it can be confused with gold because of its colour and lustre. The minerals used to compose this series of rings come from the artisanal open sky mine in Navajún (La Rioja), where there are cubical pyrites that were formed during Jurassic times, contemporary to dinosaurs and considered to be the world’s most perfect pyrites.
All of them have been collected by the artist herself through chipping the stone. The work is a tribute to the wonders gifted to us by nature and done so by putting the perfectly woven and cubic formations as the main protagonist, without cutting, altering, or carving their extraordinary natural shape.
CARE
CARE
The yellow gold we have used for your ring is 18k and FAIRMINED. The diamonds are natural and set in white gold. Both materials are completely natural and resistant to wear and tarnish. Gold jewellery should only be cleaned with non-abrasive products, preferably mild soap and water, and then dried with a soft cloth.
Pyrite, although a resilient mineral, requires attention and care, avoiding blows to the corners to preserve its splendour. Avoid abrasive chemicals that may alter its natural satin lustre.
Be aware when wearing jumpers and thin scarves, as the diamond mounts and angular vertices of pyrite may damage them.
