Satellite I Ring

O nome de marca surge do facto de "vanglória" estar associada à vaidade e deste modo ao uso de jóias, utilizando as três primeiras letras do seu nome "Vanessa" e sendo"Glória" o talismã para o sucesso da marca.

Alem do nome, criou também o logo.

She created the brandmark and logo.
Vangloria means vainglory, and its fored by the three first letters of her name, and Gloria, the talisman for the brand's success.
 

Dot & Comma Ring

Como qualquer artesão neste país, luta com a falta de poder económico de potenciais clientes, sendo que a loja on-line sem duvida propicia a exposição a outros mercados, países e consumidores.

Os seus trabalhos incluem prata, cobre, botões vintage, pedras, algumas semi preciosas, não se limitando a estes, sendo que o desenho da peça pode impor a introdução de novos materiais.

As any other crafter, she strikes with the lack of founds from her potencial clients and the online shop is a way t expose her wonderful work to new markets, costumers and countries.
Her works are made from sterling silver, copper, vintage buttons, semiprecious stones, and others,  required by the design of the piece.

Estes materiais são depois serrados, fundidos, soldados, repuxados, polidos ou oxidados, de acordo com o projecto em mente.

These materials are then sawn, cast, welded, drawn back, polished or oxidized, according to the project in mind.
