The Truth – My Inner Manifesto

The Truth – My Inner Manifesto


There are words I struggle to use.

Not because they don't resonate with me, but because they've been hijacked — overused and emptied of their meaning.

Words like authentic, freedom, craftsmanship, art.

They matter deeply to me. Yet writing them sometimes feels almost dishonest, because I know they've been used too many times to sell things that have nothing to do with what they truly mean.

If you’re someone who still thinks for yourself, you’re probably just as tired as I am of all the fakery, the noise, and the herd mentality. 

Still, if there’s one thing I know how to do, it’s to be sincere.

I don’t make jewelry to prove anything.
I just share the result of an inner journey.

Jewelry that’s not just handmade.
It's made by me, in my own studio, using artisanal techniques.

Because that’s how I like to work.

Is it expensive?
Depends what you compare it to.
If you think in terms of mass production — yes.
But if you think in terms of time, attention, and presence… then no.
Because what you’re holding isn’t just a piece.
It’s hours, trials, doubts, discovery.
It’s a part of me, turned into something you can wear.

Is it slow?
Yes. Too slow for mass production.
In fact, my pieces are creations, not products.

Are most of my pieces one of a kind?
Yes.

 

Handmade by Angela Lago, the Nautical Handcrafted Seashell One of A Kind Pendant Nº 1 is a unique bronze conch shell pendant that features a small black diamond inside, elegantly hung on a chain against a white background.

 

Can you find a “little something” among them?
Yes and no.

Yes, because I do have “easy” pieces at “competitive” prices — although I hate that word, because I’m not competing with anyone.

No, because my pieces aren’t for everyone.

They’re for those who feel something.
Who perceive the unique energy not only of the person who designs them —
but of the same person who makes them.

Those who choose one of my pieces don’t do it by accident.
They feel something.
Because the energy I put into them can’t be faked.
And that… that’s what makes them powerful.

That’s why I often prefer not to explain myself.
Because words fall short.
And I express myself better in another language —
one without phrases, promises, or adjectives.

That language is my pieces.
If you understand it, then we’re already saying everything.
