About CB

CB

Carmen is originally from a city in Spain called Zaragoza. She has traveled and lived in many different countries: the US, China, the UK and France. In 2021 she moved to Milan. That is when she decided to take a leap of faith and jump into the greatest adventure of her life. Allowing herself to pursue her purpose to use jewels as a vehicle of beauty, and emotion. As a reminder to appreciate beauty in all its forms and shapes; to channel all the gems’ powers and be inspired by how they make us feel: strong, calm, beautiful, powerful… To touch many people with her message and bring a little spark of light into our lives through her designs.

 

INSPIRATION

Carmen draws inspiration from her personal life experiences, from traveling, spending time in nature, from her research on symbols, words and many unexpected events that she finds stimulating.

Her creative process always begins with what she calls the seed. This can be a vision, a feeling, a word, a quote, a concept. It sets up the basis for the spark, the soul of the collection or piece. 

Then purpose for that collection arises as a feeling or a whisper. Sometimes it is very strong; others subtle but it always finds its way to the surface so that Carmen can hear, interpret and communicate it through her designs.

 

CONCEPT/PHILOSOPHY

Carmen strongly believes that beauty, storytelling and meaning are the three key ingredients to giving life to the powers of jewelry. This is why every piece designed by CB is beautiful, has a story and contains meaning, resulting in unique pieces of art full of magic and power. Some already uncovered by CB and some eager to be discovered by you.
