CRIN JEWELLERY
We are happy to bring to you a selection of handcrafted jewellery from the Biobío region in Chile.
Each piece is made with care, using traditional techniques like enameled copper and crin weaving, both deeply connected to Chilean culture. By blending these heritage practices with contemporary design, the creations highlight vibrant colours, elegant details, and the unique value of handmade work. This project is a simple way to share the artistry of Biobío and craftsmanship of South America.
