Grandfather of designer Claudia Fernández MacGregor was a dedicated entomologist, who was a definitive influence. "Thanks to him, since I was little I have had a fascination for insects and beautiful elements in nature in general," says Claudia. Due to this affinity for nature, all materials used in the design and creation of each piece of Kalosoma jewelry are 100% natural: from precious and semiprecious metals, mainly goat skin, as well as skin from other animals such as stingray, snake, and others, as well as precious and semiprecious stones. Each stone has been hand-cut highlighting its unique characteristics, projecting its most beautiful physical expression. Each bracelet or necklace brings together the extraordinary manual work of skilled artisans who are true masters in their specialty, combining carefully selected natural materials individually, all under the design that embodies the unmistakable Kalosoma "look." Kalosoma now projects this style beyond jewelry, achieving elegant and original integrated sets, with an intimate connection to nature, that do justice to the essence "Kalos Soma"; Beautiful Body.
