Handmade Jewelry in Madrid – Visit Aktual Workshop at Fomento Street 6, Palacio Neighborhood

Welcome to Aktual Jewelry, a unique handmade jewelry workshop located in the heart of Madrid, at Calle Fomento 6, in the charming Barrio Palacio. Here, my sister Katy and I create exclusive, handcrafted jewelry that combines passion, creativity, and tradition. Every piece – from delicate earrings to bold statement rings – is carefully made by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same.

Our Story – Sisters, Entrepreneurs, and Immigrants

Katy and I, María Isabel, arrived in Spain from Venezuela in 2016, fleeing the crisis in our country. At first, our goal was simple: to earn a living honestly, working as nannies, waitresses, or in any job we could find.

But life gave us a unique opportunity: to live our shared dream. With a lot of effort, dedication, and the love and support of our friends and family, we opened our jewelry workshop in Madrid. Since then, every piece we create carries our passion, story, and determination to make something unique and beautiful. Every jewelry piece reflects not only our creativity and technique but also the journey of two sisters who dared to follow their dream despite the challenges.

In our workshop, you can see the sisters at work – me, María, or Katy – shaping metals, selecting semiprecious stones, and crafting each design with care. We love sharing this process with visitors because for us, jewelry is not just an accessory; it’s a story you can wear.
