Marina Guzman

"My inspiration comes from my beloved Peru: its colors, its past and its proposal for the future."

"As the daughter of a silversmith, I had the privilege to grow up among sketches and designs, cutouts, molds and all the... tools of the silversmith trade. All of these where to be found in the home and workshop of Jacinto Guzmán, my father.

"In 1994 I suffered from Malta fever and when I finally came out of this crisis I decided to leave law as my life's project and instead follow the path of research into Peruvian materials. I studied design and jewelry making and I learned from my experiences in the field of jewelry and restoration, taking part in every step of the process. I also got involved in cultural projects inspired by my father’s impassioned life.

"This is the natural thing for me to do. I have always been impressed by shapes, harmony, the arts and the dramatic creation of a new piece. Peruvian silver and its crafting are an invaluable legacy of the ancestral techniques by our ancient Peruvians, the days of the colony, and of contemporary times. I particularly like aged metals because it gives them character, it defines them – it's the symbolic language of its creator.

"This is an art form that I learned at home, watching my father at work and accompanying him. I've been taking part in live exhibitions since 2009, sharing with the public everything that has to do with our art, from the inspiration and its design, to the silver grit, making metal sheets, hammering and chiseling.

"At the moment I'm working with silver and copper, though silver grit is easier to get. My inspiration comes from my beloved Peru: its colors, its past and its proposal for the future. I work alongside silversmiths who are hard workers, committed and loyal, and we work as both artisans and apprentices. We work together creating the samples for the designs that I create.

"I dream of the day that any of my children, nieces and nephews decide to join us. They would be the third family generation. They don’t know of my dream yet, I have to place it myself. My motto is, I have to believe in it so others believe it.

"Let me tell you about the time when I was doing a restoration, back in 2011, when I lived between Arequipa and Lima due to my husband's work. I was constantly traveling and I needed to get back in time for a ceremony where I was presenting. The flight was closing, I almost jumped over passport controls and my hands were completely black from assembling some products we had just made. The people at the counter looked at me all funny, but I didn't have the time to stop and explain! Once on the plane I smiled to myself: I had nothing, not even my makeup, only my laptop. When my husband picked me up all he could do was to laugh! He got me to the ceremony on time, after I had washed my hands and face, of course. And… without makeup!"

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
