Eco-friendly heart crown of thorns gold
The work of Chilean artist Mariana Vilches Schmidt, this ex-voto heart inspired by Mexican culture is handcrafted from recycled newspaper pulp.

Born at the end of the 90s, this technique characterizes a 100% upcycled manufacturing (“upcycling” or top recycling) based on the recovery of materials that are no longer used in order to transform them into superior quality products. . It makes this unique decoration a totally eco-responsible product.
