The Bonsai Museum and Arabian Wall are a few more interesting attractions to visit. Spain is also home to featured jewelry designer Ana Cerda.
When viewing jewelry items from Cerda’s four-year-old brand,
Inatanka, you can almost envision her
sitting in her workshop or living room carefully putting together medallions
encrusted with Swarovski Crystals; combining brass rings with blue quartz; and creating
leather wrap bracelets.
Each handmade item from brass disc earrings to a link of
crystal beads attached to a silk ribbon seem freshly prepared giving them an
authentic, unfussy kind of beauty.
The outgrowth of a hobby she shared with her daughter,
Blanca, Inatanka took on a life of
its own and Cerda was eager to move the brand forward.
“When I realized lots of people loved our designs I decided
to make the leap. My aim is to offer
versatility to a woman: something casual, elegant or functional. My style is slowly evolving and I am looking
into opening new markets,” explains the mother of three.
The designer loves allowing an array of materials dictate
the design: leather cords with sterling silver accents; large brass discs with
turquoise or coral accents; and glossy brass rings and bangles complemented by
amethyst or lapis.

“I am always learning.
I undertook the challenge of designing a unique and personal collection
of jewelry, and I am proud of how far I have come.”
