Surely you have seen in a lot of movies or series the typical "gold nuggets" that miners look for in the interior of the mountains or in the rivers that erode those same mountains. And surely you know that those "gold nuggets" are yellow. So... where does the "rose gold" or "white gold" that we use in jewelry come from?

Surely you are familiar with the "18K gold" (or 18-karat or 18 carat), but... and what is a K, karat or carat? Is a carat a kilo as they say in Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, Bolivia and some other countries in Latin America? Is a carat a kilo of gold and is it said that because it weighs much more than a kilo of silver or any other metal? Putting the one and the other together, that's why it is said "who has a friend, has a carat"?

Looking for an accented name necklace? You are in the right place! At The MeriTomasa's Treasures Factory I don't work in series and my name necklaces are truly personalized. Done one by one. If you can write it on the computer (or on a piece of paper and send me the photo), I can turn it into sterling silver or 18K gold. That's why I get a lot of requests for accent necklaces.

If I have a treasure, that one is you. My Atlantis Rings are like that too. New designs grow and appear tailored to new customers like you. The last ones, the Atlantis Ring in rose gold. The Atlantis Ring in gold, silver and rose gold. And the Atlantis Ring in copper.

New collection at The MeriTomasa's Treasures Factory: pendant, keychain and lapel needle of the Rod of Asclepius, the international symbol of medicine: a snake coiled on a rod, designed and modeled in my workshop in Manresa, with artisan manufacture in sterling silver with blacked out recesses.

"Sharing the best of oneself is to open the heart to receive the best of all". Santiago Pando says it in his film "Artesanos, a life film". Someone recommended it to me in a personal growth course and I take the opportunity to recommend it to you as well. It lasts 1 hour and 22 minutes, and that hour and 22 minutes is the best answer I have found when you ask me why I don't sign my handmade Atlantis rings.

MeriTomasa joins the #imadeyourclothes campaign created by the Fashion Revolution movement. The objective: to invite us to be more aware of where what we consume comes from, and to take a step forward to implement a radical change.

Many times I get questions through the form on my website such as, do you work with pure silver and gold? And many times I am tempted to answer, Of ​​course not! But then nobody would buy me :-) And, actually, when my future clients ask me if I use pure silver, you are asking me if I am a jeweler. or I'm going to pull the wool...
