Pamela Vitale is a jeweler whose career is interwoven with family tradition and a passion for art. Raised in an environment where leathercraft was the norm, Pamela learned the value of the craft from a young age. Her parents, who were vendors and artisans, guided her to Escuela Raggio, where she discovered her passion for jewelry making, and later to Escuela de la Joya S. Lukez, where she honed her skills in various jewelry techniques, before deepening her experience in workshops with masters like Juan Carlos Pallarols.
Pamela’s creative process is a dance between imagination and material. Her method involves experimenting, sketching, letting ideas rest, and then returning to them. Each piece she creates reflects her dedication and love, such as her Baroque ring, which launched her cherished Baroque Collection.
One of Pamela’s greatest challenges was introducing her brand to the world, dealing with a lack of knowledge in social media, budgeting, and public relations. Overcoming these obstacles allowed her not only to establish herself as an artist but also to live fully from her craft and achieve the success she enjoys today.
Not everything is smooth in the workshop; Pamela faces a solitary environment, surrounded by cold and challenging metals. The warmth of a small heater and the sound of the radio are her companions as she tackles the day and enters her creative flow.
Pamela advises aspiring jewelers to follow their inner voice, explore various teachings, and seek their own style. The most important lesson she has learned is the necessity of presenting herself through her pieces and connecting with the viewer.
Throughout her career, Pamela has managed to balance her personal and professional life, finding inspiration in travel and exploring other techniques to keep her work fresh. Despite the challenges, Pamela Vitale continues to create with passion, turning each piece into a reflection of her dedication and love for jewelry making.
For me, her work is a testament to perseverance and creativity. I love how she reflects her personal life in these “cold and hard” metals, as she describes them, transforming them into something precious.
