Mil Colores was born many years ago. Although I didn't have a name yet, ever since I was a child, I've been moved by the different amulets that have appeared in my life.

I'll tell you how, several years ago, my fascination with this project began as a simple and beautiful childhood game. At age 5, I went on my first treasure hunt. I remember on vacation visiting my grandmother's workshop and my aunts' shops, where a world of wonderful shapes and colors opened up!

I played, choosing pieces and designing all kinds of objects, like jewelry, clothing, nail polish, and thousands of other eye-catching and fun things for a little girl. My grandmother had a weaving studio, where the colors of the wool and different fibers sparked my curiosity, especially a drawer of buttons. I remember feeling like I'd found a treasure chest! And I grew up with the strength and drive of a great woman like my mother, who, despite suffering from bipolar disorder, always knew how to move forward and remind me how strong, capable, and powerful women are.

I remember one summer when one of my aunts took a chance on me and my "creative talent." She put my creations on display! I'll never forget that day, my excitement, my nerves, my anxiety about not "selling anything." Without a doubt, that day, I didn't know what was being born.

After that day, every summer my aunts encouraged me to believe in myself, to believe in what I could do. They became the women who allowed me to grow, to believe, and to dare. I always looked up to them with pride and always dreamed of becoming a creative woman like them.

At 18, I left the city where I was born and raised: Temuco. With nostalgia, I said goodbye to those green surroundings, those intense rains I love so much, and that shelter that only someone who has experienced it can appreciate. But curiosity and the desire to find treasures called me to Santiago.

When I arrived in Santiago, I studied nutrition, something that caught my attention but didn't fulfill me or inspire me. A feeling guided me to create something, to begin my own path, one where I would feel happy, balanced, and dreamy! And so, without really knowing how to do it, I decided to begin my first attempts at entrepreneurship.

I wasn't yet aware of my inner power, which surprises me every time I connect with it! Over time, I understood the power the women in my family had passed on to me.

Entrepreneurship helped me discover a world of wonderful independence, a space for creativity and a healthy community. And that's how the idea for Mil Colores was born. With my project, I allowed myself to believe in myself. I allowed myself to dream. I allowed myself to grow.

And beyond that, with Mil Colores, I was able to connect with my inner power, which is to invite women to be aware of their creative power! I want them to find amulets filled with positive intentions with the jewelry they can find in my store. At Mil Colores, you'll find silver jewelry, unique jewelry, jewelry with energy.
