Artisan Info: "Hello, we are Debora and Marco and we met while doing research on glass. Debora is from Argentina. After finishing a degree in art, she decided to widen her horizons and that road brought her to Mexico where we met each other," says jewelry artisan Marco. "I studied veterinary medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars got it as a gift, June 12, 2008

I got this as a gift for my mother, and she was ecstatic. I've become obsessed with dichroic glass and would love to learn the technique, but the jewelry is absolutely gorgeous. She was so happy to be able to wear her beautiful set on mother's day to show it off.
