I visited Cristina Grajales last week to preview the beautiful work of Aureliano and Malba Palmeri. I was quite impressed by what I discovered.
I paraphrase from the Pulowi website:
Pulowi is a collection of jewelry in the tradition of the Wayuu of what is now Colombia. This tradition is merged with a contemporary sensibility to create unique pieces that put forward objects found in nature. For the creators of this theater, minerals play the leading roles; agates, emeralds, citrines and quartz portray beauty in hand carved settings. The minerals are mounted on horn, silver or stone rings that underscore the untamed forms and the significance of the minerals.
