Black Friday Handmade at Aktual: jewelry with soul to give (or treat yourself) with meaning

Black Friday is here… but at Aktual we experience it in a very different way.
While the world is filled with impulse purchases, giant discounts and mass-produced products, we —Katy and I— celebrate it from another place: from the heart of local commerce and from the love of creating handcrafted jewelry with soul, handmade in our workshops in the El Retiro neighborhood (Menorca 20) and Barrio Palacio (Fomento 6) in Madrid.

For us, this is not a sales day.
It's a moment to open the door, look at our clients and tell them:

“Thank you for supporting two women who create with their hands, with enthusiasm and purpose.”

And that's why, from today , November 24th, until December 5th , we want you to have the opportunity to take home special jewelry, with history, with intention… and yes, with a nice discount that makes it easier to give gifts that really mean something.

Our recommendations for this Black Friday Handmade

Here are our most beloved pieces, the most requested ones, and the ones we already know are going to fly off the shelves this year.
All handmade, all meaningful, and all ready to become a gift full of light.

🌸 1. Semi Earrings — An Aktual classic

If there's one piece that's already a signature of the house , it's these.
Semi-straps are one of those jewelry pieces that never fail: elegant, lightweight, they go with everything and are perfect for both everyday wear and special occasions.

2. New collection: Petal Earrings — the sensation of this Christmas!

I promise you they're killing it.
They are made of stainless steel , with a small circle that appears to be a delicate droplet, and hand-painted with resin. A delicate, feminine piece of jewelry, incredibly versatile and perfect for a gift.

Many customers have already told us: “I want to give a special gift, but one that won't go out of style”…
And these Petals are exactly that.

🎨 3. Maxicolor — For women who love to stand out

The famous Maxicolor are for those women who are not afraid to shine.
Large pieces, full of color and personality.
They're a guaranteed hit when you're looking for a gift that says, "You're unique, and so is this gift."

☀️ 4. Golden Reflection — Elegance without exaggeration

If you want something minimalist but with character, this collection is ideal.
A 3cm gold-colored ring, made of brass, that illuminates the face without being overwhelming.
It goes amazingly well with Christmas looks, with basics, with dresses, with everything.
