Balmaceda NY
Fall Chester Craft Show 2025
I’m inspired by the beauty of transformation—breathing new life into vintage materials through contemporary design. As an Argentinian artist based in NYC, my work reflects a rich blend of cultures, textures, and eras. I seek out forgotten chains and objects with history, reimagining them into modern, one-of-a-kind pieces. Each creation tells a story, blending nostalgia with a bold, current identity. My passion lies in honoring the past while crafting something fresh, expressive, and meaningful for today’s independent, style-conscious women. To me, jewelry is more than adornment—it’s a personal connection to time, memory, and individuality.
