"My creations carry with them my pride of belonging to a country that is exotic, magical and historic."

Regina Flores Montes remembers how, when she was just a little girl, she would spend hours observing her mother at work... creating fascinating gold jewelry. As soon as she was old enough to help, she'd spend more hours around her and by the time she was 15 years old, Regina was making her own creations. Her friends admired her work so much they began placing orders.

She studied architecture at university, and then traveled around Europe where she studied contemporary and modern art. "But I managed to keep designing jewelry, which I would send to my mom, who'd have them made by expert silversmiths," Regina tells us.

Upon her return she enrolled in archeology courses as well as in Peruvian and Latin American history – she has always been involved with the preservation of Andean culture and Quechua language.

"I've been designing jewelry since 1970. I would describe my work as entirely creative because I want to transmit through my designs the exotic beauty of Peru's natural landscapes. For this, I tend to use the gems and materials favored since pre-Inca times. My aim is to express the poetry, wisdom and artistry of my predecessors. My biggest challenge thus far is to merge science and art, and live only from art."

Her eyes easily detect the artistry found in nature, which is why she values so much the original, unpolished charm of gems. Her pieces do not feature perfectly cut or lapidated and polished stones, and she strives for minimalist designs. "I believe beauty is found in the simplest of things," admits Regina. "That is why my creations go from stylized to fantasy.

"My creations carry with them my pride of belonging to a country that is exotic, magical and historic. My jewelry is my personal way of honoring my predecessors and my beloved Peru."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

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

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

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.

By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
