Creating the Transformation Collection
So, what led me to the creation of the Transformation Collection?
Truthfully, a mixture of many things. I had been feeling a bit of standstill in my creations but also began feeling a call to experiment, to just ''do'' and start somewhere, so that led me to what I describe as ''the basics'' and that is wire wrapping. I believe to be an average wire-wrapper compared to the many beautiful artists that create such INCREDIBLE and intricate wire wrapped designs and honestly, I'm sooo okay with that because in the end, we all create what lives inside our hearts.
I started with looking into some Youtube videos and some of my favorite creators on Instagram and began doing some designs that I had been WANTING to learn how to make and FINALLY did!!! (see attached photos teehee)

I began to feel excited after that and got EXTRA EXTRA inspiration going to a Gem show and if you know me...you know that's my literal dream - to be around crystals all the time, any time.
Simultaneously, one night as I was showing my parents some of my most recent creations, they casually mentioned that my dad knew how to make copper bracelets, as he was showing me the twisting motions, I had yet another lightbulb moment and in true Miami Girl fashion (TM), I thought to myself ''I can turn this twist into a hoop'' and indeed friends, I DID turn it into a hoop and I made like 30 pairs of twisted hoops with the gems I had found at the Gem show. I was and am so happy with the results that the Carnelian + Ethiopian Opal Twisted Hoops have become one of my everyday go-tos.
Assembling the pieces together and feeling into what felt good together.
The first twisted hoops made were with these yummy Herkimer Diamonds.

I made two pairs of almost every earring and included an option to purchase both in Brass and Tarnish Resistant Gold. I hope that others enjoy these pair of earrings along with the handchains and semi-Lariat styled necklaces I made this collection.
The necklaces came to me more quietly, simpler. My typical creative process usually includes just taking out my tools, materials and gemstones and allowing myself to be led by them and that's exactly what happened with the necklaces. They feel elegant yet simple, they're my take on some of the cord crystal necklaces you may find in a metaphysical store but just ✨ Solares Gems flavored.✨
Anyways, if you've made it this far, thank you for being here and for caring about the story behind what I make. Every piece in the Transformation Collection was created with so much love, curiosity, and a little bit of "just begin somewhere” energy — and I think that's the best kind of magic and inspiration and guide. I hope whichever piece calls to you becomes a little companion on your own journey of transformation. 🌙
With soooo much amorrr, Esperanza ✨
