"Bespoke Beauty: Discovering Tita Lopez"

Amid the colorful heartbeat of Tijuana, BC, blossoms the multifaceted spirit of Tita Lopez. Trained meticulously at Bellas Artes El Nigromante in San Miguel de Allende, Gto, her canvases are a vivid play of watercolors, acrylics, oils, engravings, collages, and drawings. But her artistic expressions aren't just confined to paper and paint; they drape elegantly around the neck, cascade down wrists, and shimmer on ears. Tita’s jewelry, each piece a tangible testament to her dedication, is where her love for art becomes wearable.

Her jewelry tells tales of passion, echoing her own journey into the depth of human emotions and relationships. Through her explorations at Centro Mayama in Querétaro, Tita delves into the intricate weaves of familial ties and generational dynamics. Her foray into Psicocorporal Bioenergetic therapy and 'Barras de Access' underscores her commitment to holistic well-being, treating both the body and soul.

Tita Lopez isn’t just an artist; she’s a storyteller, using both canvas and gems to narrate her tales of love, passion, and inspiration. Her work, whether painted or crafted, resonates deeply, pulling us into a world where beauty and emotion dance in harmonious rhythm.


I hope this captures the essence of Tita Lopez and her dual talents in painting and jewelry-making.

1. Tita, what first drew you to the world of jewelry design, and how has your personal journey influenced your creations? 

I always had a different way in my way of seeing and using fashion, since I was a child I loved using many accessories, especially those of my grandmothers, when I grew up I saw that in the market there were two options: the cheap plastic one or the expensive gold one and nothing. for consumers who look for art in a piece of jewelry that is original and accessible, so I started creating jewelry for my personal use that I later sold because they asked me for it and that's how my brand emerged.

2. How would you describe the essence or soul of your designs? What emotions or stories are you aiming to convey through your pieces? 

 At some point in this over-demand of fast fashion we lost the essence of the things we wear, we forgot that wearing jewelry has been a symbol of originality, status and history and I want to bring that back with every design I make there is an investigation of mythology and art to bring back to the contemporary era and reconnect what was lost, the stories of the peoples and traditions, the stories of the religions of royalty, basically the history of the art of humanity.

3. Throughout your design journey, who or what have been your greatest sources of inspiration? 

art and what was created by man in important moments in history and that were bequeathed to us

4. In an industry filled with trends, how do you ensure your pieces remain timeless and distinct to your unique vision? 

Everything that is created for a purpose and linked to our history remains, that is why we have museums and entire cities that are testament to the beauty, passion and dedication of humans. If we build fashion with these principles, it will last as a legacy and will not be something disposable

5. Can you walk us through your design process? From the first spark of an idea to the final polished piece?

The process begins with an idea based on many things that inspire me: paintings, works of literature, images. I transfer that to how to make that same symbol into something tangible and with artisanal resources, respecting the techniques and processes that have existed for generations

6. How do you choose the materials for your jewelry? Is there a specific gem or metal that resonates deeply with you?  

 The quartz chooses me, we source the raw stones locally and then polish them to our design, always in small quantities and whatever exists at the time so as not to overexploit the available resources, always whatever the earth has to give us, and we work respectfully.

7. Many say jewelry is an extension of oneself. How do you envision women and men feeling when they wear your creations? 

 I believe that there is nothing more intimate than jewelry. It accompanies you close to your skin day and night and identifies you as an individual. The relationship you form is such that you and the piece become one, hence the importance of using talismans that say something. about you to the world and not just follow fleeting trends

8. Are there any cultural or historical influences that you weave into your designs? 

I started with Mexicanness and then realized that all the stories of all cultures are mixed in the same points of love, so I expanded my vision to include them all, I believe that we are all inhabitants of the world and a single person, no matter where they are born, can be called to appreciate stories from other cultures, that's why I mix elements and symbols from them in my pieces so that we learn to live without borders

9. The world of jewelry is vast and diverse. What do you believe sets your pieces apart from others, and what legacy do you hope they leave behind?  

I want my pieces to be seen as works of sculpture and art and that if they no longer need to be used, they should be left on an altar to become decoration, I think that is the difference between my jewelry and the others.

10. Looking to the future, where do you see yourself and your designs evolving? Are there any exciting projects or collaborations on the horizon? 

I am very hopeful for the future, I am currently working with a talented photographer creating a series of fine art photographs where jewels take center stage adorning beautiful women, with this project we will tell the story of sacred symbols, jewels of power through the ages, it is an ambitious project that will are very immersed in the study of all these stories and I hope next year to have more to show.
