I was truly impressed with her talent! Having been in the craft of jewelry-making for over five years — self-taught no less — gives her enough time to test, stretch and perfect her skill, nay, talent! I’m really surprised that she’s only 23 years old!

Pia Faustino invests her time and effort to fulfilling a client’s wish. And as far as I’ve seen, from the product photos, the jewelry are exquisitely done with form, design and materials in mind. Pia works mostly with wires, incorporating different global influences that her wandering eye has caught fancy on. With her love of bettering her craft, spending time learning new techniques, she has produced jaw-dropping pieces.

The details are so gorgeous. I love details.

All four seen on the image above are my favourites. But I’m leaning towards getting the Egyptian Coil Necklace and the Lumen earrings, particularly.
