MARICELA PALACIOS

We sat down with Brighton designer Maricela Palacios to learn more about her best-loved Illumina Collection as well as what inspires her.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MARICELA

Why do you think the Illumina Collection is so loved?

I think the Illumina Collection is beloved because it’s so refined; whether statement or petite, you can wear a Illumina every day. There are so many choices within the collection; classic pieces  as well as pieces with a modern aesthetic make it very easy to buy for yourself or gift to anyone. It’s a collection that can easily be mixed and layered with other jewelry.


What is your personal favorite piece and/or mini collection?

It’s hard to choose my personal favorite because there are quite a few within the collection. I do like the simple classic pieces like the Solitaire Necklace because I can mix with and layer it with other necklaces, but I also love some of the pieces in the Illumina Radiance Collection because they have a modern edge to them, especially the fine bracelet. It lays so beautifully on the wrist, and yet it has a little edge to it.


How do you continue to find inspiration for this collection?

I see what’s trending but also try to think of the gaps and what is missing in the collection.
