"Whenever I have an obstacle in life, I begin creating a new piece of jewelry. This art form truly inspires me, and takes me away from all my silly concerns."

Flor was born in Chimbote on March 17, 1970. At 15 years old, she left the family home to attend university in Peru's capital, Lima. She studied engineering at San Marcos University. During this time, she worked part-time at an arts and crafts shop, which marked the beginning of her love for jewelry.

After graduation, Flor and a friend decided to start a business on their own, based on Flor's final university thesis. They set up their own workshop with a minimal amount of money – they had just about enough for the basic materials to begin crafting original jewelry. Since then, demand for Flor's products has gradually increased, and she has gained considerable renowned as a talented jewelry designer.

Flor says she is passionate about her country, and its charismatic history. She says she wishes to communicate her love for Peru, and Peru’s spirit, through her jewelry.

"Whenever I have an obstacle in life, I begin creating a new piece of jewelry. This art form truly inspires me, and takes me away from all my silly concerns. Creativity is like a great medicine," Flor confides. "It helps me feel happy and relaxed!"

Hi Flor, I just received "cascade" earrings and I love them - so tinkly, shimmery and feminine. Thank you!

I ordered the Chrysocolla pendant necklace, 'Inca Deity' for my girlfriend Christmas present. My girlfriend is Peruvian, so I knew that she would immediately fall in love with it, and she did. I am so glad that I made this purchase, and it wont be the last time I order from Flor Principe. Her artwork is amazing. Every delicate detail was amazing on this piece, including the wrapping with the little white Lama. Thank you Flor.

The "Symmetry" ring by Flor Principe is a truly exquisite ring. The silver is of very high quality and the stones are such an unusual subtle shade of pink. The structure and design of the ring made it instantly one of my favorite rings of all time, unique, balanced, feels great on the finger and a true size 8 (fits perfectly on the pointer finger). Thank You for such a beautiful work of art! Regards, NJ

I bought such a well crafted, cleanly designed pink quartz ring, "Symmetry". I love the simplistic style and healing power of pink quartz.

Thanks so much, Ms. Principe, for your skill and devotion to beauty.

I am so pleased with the obsidian necklace, bracelet and earrings 'Hero' I purchased. The design is what attracted me in the first place. But now that I have it in front of me, it is even more amazing and unique than pictured. This artist has a beautiful sense of style and has created a very simple, light, elegant set. Please continue to create! I will have to purchase more from this talented woman!
