JOYAS QUE CUENTAN HISTORIAS
Aglaea; “she who shines,” “the radiant one,” “the splendid one.” In Greek mythology, she was one of the three Graces, symbolizing intelligence, creative power, and intuition. These three adjectives—intelligence, creativity, and intuition—define, in a way, what this project seeks to convey. We believe that jewelry is not merely an adornment for the body. Ancient cultures and societies used jewelry as amulets for protection, to distinguish between social classes, to express love, and also as a way to communicate one's very nature. Today, through jewelry, we can also express our concerns, create new languages, question the world we live in, and define ourselves as human beings. There is a story behind each piece. They emerge from a unique creative process and are imbued with a spirit that accentuates, rather than masks, the personality of the wearer.
GALERÍA
AGLAYA is located in a house in the old town of Ciutadella de Menorca. On the ground floor, the gallery showcases and gives voice to the pieces of the jewelers we represent, a space where jewelry is contemplated, discovered, and encountered. On the first floor, the school transforms into a workshop: here we offer courses throughout the year and support ongoing creative processes. We also organize talks and exhibitions that keep the space vibrant. At AGLAYA, creation never stops.
LA ESCUELA
Where creativity flourishes. The project focuses on jewelry that tells stories, and what better place to do so than a space where we can develop our ideas and express what we want to say? Quarterly and intensive courses are offered throughout the year, covering both technical and conceptual aspects, always with a focus on artistic jewelry and critical reflection.
SOBRE MI
Hello! I'm Sonia, and I've been running this project since 2021. I've been working in jewelry for over fifteen years. I know this field from different perspectives, from design and collection production to sales and participating in exhibitions. All this experience has given me a perspective on the world of jewelry that has allowed me to define myself and my work. For the last eight years, I've been exploring jewelry from an artistic point of view. Through this path, I've found my own unique style and where I want to be. My passion for this type of jewelry drives me to want to share this aspect and introduce you to this fascinating world. I want to share it with you!
