CÂPÂ BRAND: The tropical environment becomes an endless source of inspiration in our creative process, where nature plays a significant role. We visualize our jewelry pieces, sketch them, and then breathe life into them through meticulous wax modeling.
Fueled by deep curiosity and a passionate attention to detail, we continuously explore different materials and develop new techniques. Over the years, we've given life to collections inspired by tropical plants, the sea, birds, and the vast expanse of space. In our Wedding & Engagement Rings collection, the imperfection of love and its stories become our primary source of inspiration.
At CÂPÂ, we seek the balance between doing things well and enjoying our craft.
When we created the brand, we knew we wanted to design and construct directly - without intermediaries like computers - to have an enriching experience that fosters the connection between ideas and hands. In the process of building our aesthetic, which is artisanal and imperfect, we distance ourselves from anything that standardizes geometry and make room for spontaneous and natural occurrences.
Our Creative Journey: Each theme becomes a space for exploring topics of interest. This way, at CÂPÂ, we travel through different landscapes and around the world. CÂPÂ is the means through which Catalina studies, draws, reflects, and forms informed perspectives about our environment. These ideas then evolve into spontaneous drawings that, in turn, transform into jewelry. We hand-carve the pieces and use the ancestral process of lost-wax casting.
Catalina Patiño is the visionary behind CÂPÂ, a name that encompasses different roles, tasks, and possibilities. This is how Catalina is both a jeweler and an architect. Her days as a jeweler unfold at CÂPÂ Atelier, a workshop dedicated to creating jewelry for life, where Catalina serves as the creative director. Among her personal creations, she also founded CÂPÂ Architecture, a small architectural studio in collaboration with Juan Pablo Ramos.
