It's increasingly common knowledge among both Girona locals and visitors that in Plaça Sant Pere is one of the city's most modern jeweller's, a hideout created by Montserrat Lacomba. Once a painter, she developed her artistic career with a move to goldsmithing. After graduating in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona, she discovered jewellery-making at the prestigious Massana art school. For Lacomba, making jewellery is much more than a trade, and over time, she's become a key player in the sector. This is thanks in no small part to her blog, 'Mar de Color Rosa' where, until November 2015, she talked about the latest happenings in jewellery and wrote articles regarding her work and key concepts.
Take a tour of some of the local jewellery-making places that we've fallen in love with: contemporary, signature and costume pieces along with the key workshops. Prepare to be dazzled...
