Designer Highlight: Astrid Poletti

We Fein Girls had the pleasure to sit down with Astrid Poletti, a jewelry designer from Paraguay and we were lucky enough to get a better glimpse of her jewelry collection. After a delightful thorough examination, it became clear to us that Astrid is a deeply spiritual person greatly influenced by the natural harmony of life.
Freedom, equilibrium and inner peace are words that represent Astrid’s collections. Delicate filigree pieces are combined with stones, sterling silver, 18 k gold, leather and glass, making it less of a fashion accessory and more of an instrument of art. Each handmade piece usually takes more than two days to assemble and focuses on elements that represent positive energy and spiritual freedom.

Poletti says she’s stimulated by ancient beliefs and cultures, for example: the elephant, which in many cultures represent protection and good fortune, or leaves and flowers, a simplistic element which symbolizes awareness. By taking advantage of the double significance of colors, like green and red that represent hope and life, she uses duplicity representation to serve a higher spiritual purpose.

Her pieces are simple and eclectic, which are the perfect ingredient to any outfit. In today’s economic times, being able to play with a piece that can actually revive an old outfit is worth gold! In addition, her pieces give you the freedom to use them in a variety of ways, as a head piece, a long necklace and a bracelet. Economically sound but still fashionable, financial bliss!!!

Here is preview of her latest collections, enjoy!
Balance- summarizes the theory that in every experience, good or bad, there will be an outcome that will lead to spiritual enrichment. Every touch, every simple human contact should enrich the soul of another. Numerology, the ancient belief in a mystical relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things, plays a strong part in her creations, thus the reason behind the knots in her pieces.

A Modo Mio, or My Way Collection- tries to highlight Paraguay’s philosophy with a dash of Astrid’s personal touch. In this collection she used religious symbols as the Cross and Hamsa, who is often used as a defense against the evil eye. Her intention is to ignore the religious designation behind each symbol, but rather balance spiritual entities into one peaceful essence.


Astrid welcomes the opportunity to customize each piece so that it represents the best of you and most importantly, your personal attitude.
