Estella Selva brings together two crafts that both begin with thread. The Estella flower is built by hand from fine filigree wire, with each small element shaped and placed by me. For the silk cord, I found a woman who hand-rolls and hand-dyes her own cords from pure silk, in almost any colour imaginable. Two very different materials, shaped by two pairs of hands, come together in one jewel.

For Selva, the silk is a deep forest green. Against the darker shade, the gold feels warmer and the fine, open structure of Estella comes beautifully into view. Selva means forest in Spanish, a name that felt entirely natural for this Estella from The Secret Garden.

The flower can be removed from the silk cord and worn with another colour. Each shade changes the character of the piece, from deep and understated to soft or more vibrant, while Estella remains at its centre.

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.

contact Elizabeth to discuss your ideas.

Symbolism

The Magnolia stellata flowers at the very beginning of spring, often while its branches are still bare. Its star-shaped blooms appear before the garden has fully awakened, giving Estella a sense of quiet confidence: the freedom to bloom in your own time.

The deep green of Selva evokes the forest and its constant cycle of growth and renewal. Together, the flower and the green silk speak of growing and changing in your own way, without losing what is at the heart of who you are.

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.

Further information about returns, cancellations and personalised orders can be found in our refund policy.

Elizabeth’s Atelier

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.
