Claudia is the face and inspiration of Galeria Amaya here in London.
She has a great eye for design and a passion for the beautiful jewellery that the family business produces in Bogotá Colombia.
She was responsible for the jewellery designs and production of the manufacturers product catalogue while working and living in Colombia.
After travelling to Colombia several times, visiting the families business premises in Bogota and seeing the production methods,
Andrew could not help admire the quality of the Pre-Columbian jewellery designs based on original artefacts in the Museo del Oro Bogotá.
The Colombian jewellery products were later displayed in the British Museum shop
during the Beyond El Dorado exhibition
Organised with Museo del Oro 17 October 2013 – 23 March 2014
