Fine craftsmanship and so gorgeous

This skeleton fish is made of fine silver and is an instant favorite. All the pieces in Maria's collection are so tempting! I love her work andvthe way she brings the influence of Freida Kahlo to her art!

Beautiful

This decoupage chest is perfect! It’s a lovely shape, very nicely made and skillfully decorated and finished. It will be a special gift for a special person. It arrived quickly--and meticulously wrapped and packed. Thank you!

Exquisite

The details on this bracelet are amazing. I can't wait to wear it with the other matador and flamenco jewelry I have by Maria Belen Nilson. Her work is fantastic.
