Born in Mexico City to a Mexican mother and a Dutch father, Paola left Mexico at 16 to study at Kent School in the United States. Finding herself more in-tune with Europe at the time, she chose to study at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she graduated with a degree in Economics and Finance and subsequently worked in finance in London for three years.

Looking to pursue her true creative passion, she left her job in finance in the spring of 2012 and moved back to Mexico City after a decade of living abroad. It was there that she re-discovered the creative potential and her passion for the family business of silver jewelry and decided to follow in her grandfather’s footsteps.
