Giuliana Valz-Gen

Silver filigree jewelry in The Andes

"In a way, my work deals with the richness of nature. My motivation comes from a desire to complement female beauty with my designs, which are infused with Peruvian artistry."

Update (June, 2019)

“I am Giuliana Valz Gen Rivera. If my friends and close family had to describe me, I am more than sure they would say that I am a staunch and fair woman, a woman impatient with what I hope to achieve both personally and professionally.

“Since I was a child I was very curious; I always noticed jewelry pieces with brightness and elegance. When I reached adolescence I loved making special gifts and I wanted to make them myself. I knew that I had the ability to develop more artistic skills. But everything comes when it has to come, and it happens in a very organic and natural way; that is how I was initially trained in business administration. That was the foundation that helped me to become a businesswoman and to be able to perform at what I most wanted. Today I feel that there is nothing like doing something that you really love.

“There came a time in my life in which I told myself that, despite the difficult times, it was time to work on my own. The first thing that came to mind at that time was jewelry; it was always my favorite hobby. I thought about what I liked the most, what I was most passionate about what I enjoyed doing without having to think about it as a job. So like everything, at the beginning it was a challenge to start working on my own. I decided to train a lot in workshops and take courses where research about techniques was fundamental. I wanted to know more about the world of jewelry, not only locally but globally, and learn from it and create pieces that achieved differentiation. I am proud to have consolidated during these 14 years a great team of collaborators and friends with whom we share this art. We are strategic partners and we value our art, our knowledge, our transparency in communication, and our loyalty to the work we do as a team.

“In my art I want to preserve the ancestral techniques of filigree and colonial silverwork. The filigree technique is one of the oldest jewelry techniques; today we know that the Egyptians, Etruscans and Greeks were the first to develop it. In Peru, filigree has been developed since the arrival of the Spaniards, and is part of the country's cultural heritage. My inspiration comes from life itself, from day to day, from everything I find and research. I love creation, design, drawing, and combining; they are the outcome of my training.”

Original Artisan Story

"What really counts is innovation. My designs speak of tradition yet they are modern and feature the harmony between metal, pearls and gemstones. In a way, my work deals with the richness of nature. My motivation comes from a desire to complement female beauty with my designs, which are infused with Peruvian artistry.

"I was born in Lima on November 9, 1958. As a child, I loved creating my own jewelry to wear at parties, or give to friends as gifts. By the age of 14, I was already wearing my own creations.

"In college, I signed up for elective courses in jewelry making, where I learned the essentials of the craft. For me, this was a hobby I kept refining and perfecting. I was still taking courses when my husband passed away. At that point, I quit school to seek a steady job to support my young son. That has been the greatest challenge of my life.

"I decided to set up my own workshop where I could develop my jewelry designs. And it's a way to rescue ancestral techniques in gold and silver, reproducing colonial designs and fine filigree. I've researched the handcrafted jewelry styles developed in Peru over the centuries and have experimented with many great materials that I incorporate into my designs. Of all of those, I prefer Andean opal with its exquisite colors and extraordinary veins.

"Designing is easy. I just think of what I'd like to wear."

"14th Wedding Anniversary Gift"

I wanted to tell you and everyone how much I like the craftmanship of the earrings. This is a gift for my wife. I started looking for a traditional present, which is ivory. It was suggested a modern alternative is gold. By chance or good fortunate I found your site and then the earrings. Our anniversary is the is soon, so I havent given them to her yet. I am sure she will love them. The card in the box saying thank you is from Orlando. Tell him I admire his craftmanship and attention to detail. I will be visiting your site in the future for additional purchases. Thank you.

"Nice and Delicate"

I have bought several pieces from the Artist Giuliana Valz-Gen. Everyone of them well crafted. This necklace is nice and delicate and specially easy on and off due to its longer length, so I love it. While the hook closure is not one of my favorite as it gets caught onto my long hair when trying to put it on or off.
