This Venezuelan chic found in New York a new home second to her loved Caracas. She moved to the Big Apple in 2007 and since then she’s been walking a path towards one of her many talents, jewelry design. By manipulating, bending, embossing and playing with enamel and metal she has developed a diverse collection. Every item is spoiled by the designer’s wit with glimmers of humor and character. Meet the diamond pooping bird, the egg button or the bicycle tandem earrings, for example. This woman has traveled the world, worn the chef’s hat and worked on film sets. Her jewelry treasures mimic her varied and rich experienced life. Meet Vanessa at Artists and Fleas’ market, every weekend in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
