About Artzores

Artzores is an artisan studio founded by artist and designer Heather Villavicencio and inspired by the raw beauty and quiet magic of the Azores Islands. After decades in the fine-jewelry world she embraced a new creative chapter focused on nature-driven design, sustainability, and storytelling through handcrafted art.

Every Artzores piece is made by hand using locally inspired natural materials such as hand-dried hydrangeas, volcanic lava stone, ocean shells, fish-scales and resin.  Her creations reflect the harmony between land and sea, tradition and modern design. No two pieces are ever the same, making each work a truly wearable or displayable keepsake from the islands.

Today, Artzores is proudly handcrafted in the Azores and shared with collectors and customers around the world.
