Zappah was born in the streets of San Cristóbal de las Casas.
I didn’t set out to start a jewelry brand. I set out to find something real.
In San Cristóbal de las Casas, deep in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, I discovered amber. Not as a material. As a world. The artisans there have been working with it for generations — extracting it by hand from the earth, shaping it, setting it in silver. Every piece carries millions of years of history and the hands of someone who knows exactly what they are holding.
I am Mexican. I live in Porto, Europe. And Zappah is the bridge I built between those two worlds.
Each piece in Zappah is made by artisans in Chiapas from natural Mexican amber set in sterling silver 925. No molds. No machines. No repetition. Every stone is different. Every piece exists only once.
When it sells, it is gone. Forever.
That is not a marketing strategy. That is simply the truth of what these objects are.
Zappah ships from Europe. Every piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. And every piece carries something that cannot be manufactured: the certainty that you own something that will never exist again.
One of One. Never Restocked. Each piece exists only once.
