Margarita is named after someone very close to me, and the flower that shares her name in Spanish became the inspiration for the design. Only later did I discover that Margarita can be traced back to the Greek margaritēs, meaning pearl. I loved finding that unexpected connection between someone I love, a flower and the world of jewellery.

In this choker, Margarita becomes the centre of a much bolder composition. A faceted peridot sits at the heart of the filigree flower, surrounded on either side by five strands of 4 mm lapis lazuli beads. Their intense blue creates a beautiful contrast with the warmth of the gold and makes the fresh green of the peridot stand out even more.

The craftsmanship continues beyond the flower itself. I made the clasp entirely by hand in filigree, rather than finishing the necklace with a standard fastening. It is a detail that is easily overlooked when the piece is worn, but one that makes the necklace complete for me.

The length can be adjusted to change the way the necklace sits on the body. Worn high, the five strands wrap closely around the neck and give it the presence of a true choker. Worn slightly longer, Margarita falls lower against the neckline and the piece takes on a softer silhouette. Two different ways of wearing a necklace that was made to be noticed from every angle.

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 margarita has long been a flower of new beginnings, while peridot carries a similar sense of renewal, growth and light. Against it, the deep blue of lapis lazuli brings a different meaning, one traditionally tied to wisdom, truth and trusting your own voice.

Together, they tell a story that feels very natural to me: knowing who you are, staying true to that, and still allowing yourself to grow and change. The peridot sits brightly at the heart of the flower, held within the depth of the lapis lazuli around it.

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.

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.
