About Martine Lovato
Born in 1948. A true master who started making jewelry in the 60s. From mosaic inlays to silverwork, as well as Hishi necklaces, he has won various awards for his top-level work. He is also a master at creating new designs that are a step away from traditional Santo Domingo designs, such as creating designs called fans with a spicy oyster in the center to look like a fan, and selling the decorative part of a necklace called Jacques as a choker. The sense of fine cutting and color scheme is nothing short of amazing.

* Since silver sulfurizes over time, it may be darker than the image, or it may be delivered more beautifully polished.
* Indian jewelry is a jewelry that has many scratches, unevenness of the silver surface, and roughness of the joints due to the traditional handicraft manufacturing method. Please enjoy it as a taste.
