Renato Ronquillo
My life’s path is that of a goldsmith, a path of over 35 years. I love creating wearable works of art. I can sit still for hours, blissfully focused bending, soldering and filling a half of millimeter of gold to get a perfect fit. This is the foundation and integrity of my job.
I am blessed to be ably to work with the rarest and most beautiful of God’s Creations and create art in the intimate form of wearable arts. I am grateful to those who have purchased, restored their precious jewelry and supported my work for many years, not only supporting my family but also for helping me continue the tradition of the goldsmith.
