about the funder

Hello, I’m Ale Mata, a passionate Mexican about art and handmade creations. In 2008, I gave life to my handmade pieces venture.

I explored the various regions of my country searching for artisanal richness. My goal was to select carefully and find unique pieces. However, I soon realized that exclusivity often meant prices that were unaffordable for my budget.

But I didn’t give up. I decided to take matters into my hands and create my own pieces. That’s how I started designing and producing my unique jewelry line. And I called Ixchel as the Mexican princess of the moon.

One reason was to undertake something without knowing anything about it, I had no technique or experience, this led me to be very free and daring in the use of materials and designs.

I began making jewelry with materials that I got collecting: such as shells, sea snails, wood, even a dried bird’s wing, I saw it on the floor, and it looked beautiful..

My challenge was to do the best I can do just with collected stuff and recycled metals and use my imagination, no many rules

My mission is to create a jewelry company that values ​​and fairly rewards its talented jewelers. We seek to position ourselves as the best paid in Mexico, if possible.
