 his is the story of a dream:
maintaining the spirit of my cultural heritage alive through art
.

CAR_3950_edited.jpg

As a third generation jewelry designer from Cuenca - cultural capital of Ecuador - my entire life has revolved around art. A profound love for Andean culture and jewelry became one: my calling was born.

With the help of a Masters Degree in Craft and Teaching, as well as a Bachelor’s in Marketing, I created
“Andrea Tello Jewelry” to rescue our  ancestral arts and globalize their aesthetic and cultural value.
