Magnífica is the most elaborate expression of Margarita. Three flowers fall beneath each ear, gradually increasing in size, so the eye travels through layer after layer of filigree. Across the pair there are six flowers, but their construction begins much further back at the workbench. Each one is built from two separate frames: long petals filled in jalado below, with a smaller flower in alto relieve rising above to form the centre. Before the earrings can come together, twelve individual filigree frames and six tomatillos have to be made.

This is where the scale of Magnífica really becomes apparent. More than a full working week goes into a single pair. Even the filigree wire is made in the atelier before the first frame is formed. From there follows a succession of shaping, filling and soldering, with sanding and polishing returning throughout the process as each new layer is added. Only once all the individual elements are finished can the six flowers be assembled and the final polish begin. Within the Margarita line, no other design uses as much silver or has as much surface to finish in vermeil.

There is no gemstone at the centre of these flowers. Instead, each one holds a tomatillo, made from the same fine wire as the surrounding filigree. It is a deliberate choice that keeps the attention on the metalwork itself: the rhythm of the jalado, the raised forms of the alto relieve and the minute variations that come with every component being made by hand.

Then the earrings are worn, and all that carefully constructed architecture begins to move. The three flowers respond separately with every turn of the head, exposing different layers as they shift. Gold catches the light on one petal, disappears into the filigree and returns on another. Magnífica has presence from a distance, but its real richness reveals itself up close, where the hours of work can be read in the structure of every flower.

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 marguerite has long been associated with sincerity, simplicity and joy. Its beauty comes from a clear structure: a strong centre surrounded by petals opening outwards. Magnífica takes that familiar form and develops it into something far more intricate, while keeping the flower itself immediately recognisable.

Filigree gives that symbolism another dimension. The finished earrings may be exuberant, but they are built through repetition, patience and extraordinary concentration. Six flowers emerge from twelve separate frames and six tomatillos, each requiring the same care before becoming part of the whole.

For Margarita Magnífica, joy and discipline belong together. The openness of the flower is matched by the devotion of the craft, and the richness of the finished jewel comes from the time, precision and care held within every handmade element.

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.

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.
