After two years of the pandemic, The MeriTomasa's Treasure Factory returns to Passeig Pere III in Manresa for Sant Jordi. If you want to receive them at home earlier, to be on the safe side, you can now buy Sant Jordi Roses collection on my website, with free shipping to Catalonia and Spain and worldwide with DHL, fast and safe. This year yes, Sant Jordi will win the dragon!
I will be at the first section of the Passeig, in front of the Casino, at the Somiatruites stand, the cultural association of artists, designers and craftsmen. I'm sure you know us because Sant Jordi after Sant Jordi is the prettiest stand on the hole Passeig :-) And this year we are finally back!!
Sant Jordi Roses Collection
Saint George Roses is the MeriTomasa collection for April 23, the day of the rose and the book in Catalonia. It is made up of rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets with a shared motif: a rose modeled in sterling silver, with darkened recesses. Zero kilometer limited series and modeled in wax:
Sant Jordi Roses Polyester Bracelet: with polyester cord with adjustable length thanks to the macramé knots. 10mm rose.
Sant Jordi Roses Earrings: with snap closure and available in small (6mm) or medium (10mm).
Sant Jordi Roses Ring: adjustable rings available in 3 sizes: small rose (6mm), medium (10mm) or large (16mm).
Sant Jordi Roses Necklace: with silver chain and available in 3 sizes: small rose (6mm), medium (10mm) or large (16mm)).
Sant Jordi Roses Necklace in Gold: idem but in 18K gold and available in 3 sizes: small rose (6mm), medium (10mm) or large (16mm)).
Sant Jordi Roses Bracelet: rigid bracelet in darkened silver with Sant Jordi rose. Optional interior engraving. 10mm rose.
Sant Jordi Roses Needle: Barley needle, Sant Jordi rose and spike: all in sterling silver. Length 60-70mm.
Sterling silver with darkened recesses and wax cast: No two are alike!
The Sant Jordi Roses collection consists of a set of sterling silver treasures (earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces and needles) that share the rose as a motif and are made from the contrast of the polished finish and the darkened finish of silver, which intensifies the three-dimensional modeling of each piece and gives it more depth.
It is a collection designed and modeled in my workshop in Manresa, based on the manual wax modeling of each piece, so that you can also boast of wearing a zero kilometer jewel of handcrafted manufacturing.
The legend of Sant Jordi and the Dragon (and the politically correct version)
The Catalan version of the legend of Saint George says that after a fierce combat between the knight and the dragon, the beast fell pierced by sharp iron and that from the dripping of blood that watered the earth, a rose bush was born that blossomed profusely every April. In my blog I present an alternative version: the politically correct version of the legend of Saint George and the Dragon, with sensitivity against the absolutist power of kings, animal abuse, the objectification of women, the guillotination of flowers (which are also living beings) and the unjust obligation that hipsters must wear beards :-)
And you, do you already have your rose of Sant Jordi?
