Hello! I am Josefa Corvalán Roca, the girl behind Arista Joyas. Born and raised on Chile, the long country on South America! I studied architecture and graduated in 2016.
Somehow my career was not complete, until I got to know the world of Jewelry. Since I was a little girl I have always loved arts and crafts: I did macramé, beads, embroidery, weaving... You say it and I assure you that I had my stage of obsession with that art.
Studying architecture has not only opened up a world of spatial and design possibilities for me, but it has also created a particular interest in the micro-scale and, above all, details. In 2017 I was able to complement my passion for design through goldsmithing, which gave birth to Arista.
Architecture is present in each of my jewels. From geometry, which is borrowed or reinterpreted from a work or school of architecture; even the name that each design receives, which will always be the names of architects, designers and artists that I admire.
The result of all this process is the creation of special, original jewels with many possibilities; designed for lovers of detail, minimalism and simplicity. It is the perfect complement, jewelry that you can wear 24/7, suitable for any occasion and that you can easily combine!
I feel that art is interpreted in different ways, the art that one inhabits, that one observes and that one wears. Although it seems that goldsmithing is a temporary trade, I consider it a true professional vocation, since like any art it requires passion and the desire to innovate. This is why I intend to continue studying and perfecting myself so that each idea that is on paper can materialize into a jewel.
Arista is more than just jewelry, it is a result of my personal story.
They are timeless jewels with their own style and original designs,
For lovers of things well done.
