High in the Colombian Andes, a wild dahlia grows in a place closely tied to Elizabeth’s family history. Dahlia imperialis, known locally as dalia silvestre, is found in La Siberia near La Calera. Elizabeth’s great-grandmother came from this mountain region, and later generations of her family lived there for many years. On her most recent visit to Colombia, her family took her into the mountains to La Siberia. It was the first time she experienced for herself a place she had previously known through their stories.

In the ring, the Dahlia takes centre stage. Elizabeth makes the flower entirely in filigree, a centuries-old goldsmithing technique she studied in greater depth in Colombia. Every petal is formed individually. Some are densely filled with fine wire, while others are built from tiny open filigree shapes. Seen together, the different patterns give the flower depth and a wonderful sense of lightness. Look more closely and the openwork has the delicacy of lace.

A faceted aquamarine is set by hand at the heart of the flower. Its clear blue brings a cool point of light to the warmth of the gold and draws the eye to the centre of the design. The Dahlia is generous in scale, giving the ring a strong presence on the hand. Yet the fineness of the filigree keeps the ring beautifully refined.

Product specifications

Made to Order

A Diosa del Alma jewel can be made to reflect your personal wishes. You may have a particular gemstone in mind, be drawn to a different combination of colours or wish to make a subtle change to the design. Elizabeth will be happy to explore the possibilities with you and create a jewel that feels entirely your own.

For a special occasion, Elizabeth can also help you choose a jewel to complement what you are wearing, or design one specifically for your outfit.

As each personal commission is considered individually, you will receive a quotation before any work begins. The price will reflect your choices and the current cost of the precious metals and gemstones selected.

Symbolism

Aquamarine has been associated with calmness and clear thought for centuries. Its name comes from the Latin aqua marina, meaning seawater, and sailors once wore the stone as a talisman for protection on their voyages. That old connection with the sea has endured in the way aquamarine is understood today: as a stone of calm and clarity, particularly when life around us feels anything but still.

The dahlia is often associated with inner strength, dignity and staying true to oneself. In this ring, the symbolism has a natural focal point. Aquamarine sits at the heart of the Dahlia, surrounded by the many filigree petals that make up the flower.

Together, Dahlia and aquamarine represent the calmness to stay true to yourself, and the strength to act on what you know is right for you.

Hallmarking

Precious-metal jewellery in the Netherlands is subject to statutory hallmarking requirements above certain weight thresholds. Diosa del Alma jewels that fall below these thresholds do not require an official hallmark.

When a jewel is required to be hallmarked under Dutch law, it is independently tested and marked with an official Dutch fineness mark.

The precious metal and its fineness are always stated in the Product Details.

Delivery

Many Diosa del Alma jewels are made by Elizabeth after an order is placed. These pieces usually have a production time of 4 to 8 weeks.

If a jewel is in stock, it will be dispatched within 2 to 5 working days. If you need your jewel by a particular date, please get in touch before ordering to discuss what may be possible.

Orders to the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany are shipped free of charge, fully insured and registered. Shipping costs for other European destinations are calculated at checkout.

Further information can be found in our shipping policy.

Returns & Cancellations

We hope, of course, that you will enjoy wearing your Diosa del Alma jewel for many years to come. Should you change your mind, a jewel ordered as offered on the website may be returned within 14 days of receipt. It must be unworn and returned in its original condition.

Elizabeth also offers the possibility of making a jewel more personal, whether through a different gemstone, a particular combination of colours or an alteration to the original design. Once a jewel differs from the version offered on the website, it is made especially for you and therefore cannot be returned.

Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.

Made entirely by hand

From First Idea to Final Detail

At Diosa del Alma, the person who imagines the jewel is also the person who makes it. Elizabeth designs and creates each piece herself, from the first idea to the moment it leaves her atelier.

This gives her the freedom to let a design evolve as she works. Proportions may shift or an unexpected detail may take the jewel in a new direction. Elizabeth enjoys leaving room for those moments rather than deciding everything in advance.

That same way of working makes personalisation a natural part of the atelier. Elizabeth can respond to individual wishes herself and shape a jewel with the person who will wear it in mind.

Elizabeth

Becoming a goldsmith was never part of the life she had imagined for herself. Until then, her career had been in the world of fashion and luxury. She had also built her own business, before serious illness unexpectedly changed the course of her life.

Several years later, during her recovery, she began learning to make jewellery. It was initially intended to support her rehabilitation, but she quickly became absorbed by the craft itself. She went on to train further as a goldsmith, discovering a direction she could never have imagined before her illness.
