SARAH SAYS...
"Jacqueline Pinto’s jewelry carries her grandmother’s story of resilience. Each piece is both beautiful and deeply personal — that’s why I love bringing it to our MaisonMarché clients
Growing up in Miami, Jacqueline heard her grandmother recount the stories behind the jewelry she’d smuggled into the U.S. after fleeing communist Cuba in 1960. “I was always drawn to fine jewelry because it could hold these stories,” Pinto said “ I wanted to tell her story and the suffering she went through...That’s why we begin with the tears. The theme of the collection is that you have to see the world through rose-colored glasses because of the hard things you have to do, and through grace those tears will become flowers.”
I love the beauty and strength in her work!
