DOLORES

If there is a place where you can learn very well how beauty is pain, that is Mexico. And there was no better indicative for it than my paternal grandmother Lolita. Like so many women of her time she suffered unspeakable abuse, but it was her who taught me how to smile through it all. Some time after her passing my maternal grandmother taught me how to appreciate jewelry, her favorites always included pearls, she told me they represent tears.
