Natural Inspirations from Kalosoma Jewelry


Inspired by a childhood of spending time in the countryside with her entomologist grandfather, Claudia Quiroz named her jewelry after the jewel like Calosoma beetle. Latin for 'calo' beautiful and 'soma' body, Kalosoma is a line of jewelry that embodies the spectacular beauty of the natural world with unique skillfully handcrafted charm.Using semi-precious stones, hand woven sterling silver, and fine leather, these beautiful pieces stay true to the artisan traditions of Mexico where Kalosoma is designed and made.




Stunning when worn together,
however, each piece is a stand alone wonder to behold.
