Odette Sierra is from the beautiful Mexican state of Puebla. Her father Edgar Sierra first opened their workshop 30 years ago. Their town is renowned throughout Mexico for its carvings in onyx and marble. Submerged in this artistic heritage, the Sierras began crafting parquet tables in onyx and marble. During the history of their workshop they have come to perfect the fabrication of innumerable items, including chess sets, game sets, vases, sculptures, bathroom fixtures, and jewelry boxes. The principal materials of the Sierra Family, onyx and marble, are mined in the Mexican states of Puebla and Oaxaca. A diamond disk is used to sculpt the stone, accompanied by large quantities of water. Once the desired shape is achieved the artisans finish the surface with emery board and a polisher. The art of sculpting marble and onyx demands patience and virtue, both of which have been cultivated over time in the Sierra Family workshop.

		I am so pleased with the Marble 'Charging Bull' Statue. It takes me back to the time when I studied at the Universidad de Guadalajara. This statue has a special place in my heart. Thank you so much! - T. Rengifo, VA, USA I bought the "war of the roses" chess set for my boyfriend, who absolutely loved it. It was beautifully crafted and every fine detail taken care of.

I recently purchased the Chinese Checker set from the Sierra Family. It arrived yesterday wrapped like a gift with a hand written thank you from the artist. I really appreciated the personal touch and the set is magnificent! We have played at least 10 games already. The craftmanship is absolutely amazing.. the detail, the onyx and marble, the carefully drilled spaces all add to a display piece that will be admired by all who visit us. I also compliment Novica for their great service in keeping me informed about when my order shipped and how I could track it. This experience will have me returning for many future purchases!! - Jeanne Thomas, Manassas,VA,USA
