Paula Mendoza Jewelry

To Paula Mendoza, jewelry can completely revolutionize an outfit. Fusions of precious and semi-precious stones mixed with melted and moulded metals make up the beauty and inventiveness of Mendoza’s jewelry. Through travelling in Colombia – her native country – and Halong Bay, Vietnam, Mendoza was inspired by the wonders of nature. These prompted her to create Cave of Wonders, a collection featuring stunning, original looks that embody the natural transformations in nature caused by the elements.
