Atelier Apreels
(001) ABOUT
Apreels was born from the bonds that form between objects and memory.
I have always wanted to give jewellery back its true meaning: objects of great sentimental value.
That is where I design from: from what I have lived and what stays with me. Some pieces are born from nature; others from people, places, memories or shapes that feel familiar to me or that I imagine.
They all begin as a personal way of seeing and stay open to finding a new meaning in whoever wears them. They pass from my hands to yours and go with you every day and in special moments, hoping to become one of your most treasured objects.
That is where Apreels makes sense: in creating something that is born from my way of seeing and finds its place in someone else’s life.
– Marta Garrido, Founder
(002) OUR VISION
Objects shaped by
memory & nature.
(003) THE ORIGIN
Apreels comes from April (abril), the month when spring is at its most alive in the place where I was born.
Rain soaks the fields and the beaches; then the sun comes out again, bringing some of the most beautiful sunsets of the year.
It is a time to bloom and to change.
Watching nature, its shapes and its movements, gives me the freedom to create.
Sometimes it all begins with a curve, a texture or an image that has stayed with me. As I work it with my hands, that first idea changes until it finds its own form.
(004) THE WORKSHOP
Since Apreels was born in 2017, designing has been our way of expressing ourselves and of paying attention to detail.
We design and handcraft every piece in our workshop, following its whole journey closely.
Every stage of creation takes place in Valencia: design, casting, finishing, stone setting, polishing and plating.
Being in touch with each piece lets us slow down and give it the time it needs.
Craftsmanship lives there too: in watching it take shape, adjusting every detail and caring for the piece until it is ready to go with you.
