Pamela Martello

Biography

Small things can make a great difference. I am an enthusiastic jewelry designer convinced something small like a jewel can contribute to your mood and make you feel special even when days turn gray. I love doing jewelry but must of all I love to transmit this love and passion through my works, that are inspired even by the tiny things that surround us in our everyday life. My name is Pamela Martello, I was born in Mexico City and raised in a beautiful city nearby the capital, Cuernavaca, full of life, colors, history and great people. But I have always been curious about living abroad and exploring different countries. When I was 18 years old, I decided to start a new adventure, somewhere else. I decided to move to Italy to study jewelry design at IED and to learn Italian. Motivated by my grandfather's roots who was from the south of Italy and by the history of this amazing country. I lived 1 year in Milano and 3 more in the beautiful city of Rome. But after 4 years living there, I decided to move on, and I set to go even further, to China. Attracted by the history, the country, and the exotic places to travel in China and in Asia, and always with the motivation of working in the field of jewelry design. Here in Shanghai, I had the opportunity to work close with a Chinese company designing jewelry made out of jade, a valuable material and full of meaning for Chinese culture. At the same time, I decided to explore a bit more the world of digital fabrication, where I have been collaborating lately with a FabLab. Experimenting but most of all learning new techniques, software, and machines that I can apply to the design of my work. I still have a long path to learn in the design of Jewelry, but I surely enjoy the experiences and inputs of living abroad and getting inspired from every place I go. Shanghai, is a great city full of inputs, amazing people, and great opportunities, but who knows, maybe I move to another place to discover and to get new inspirations.
