Beatriz Palacios Jiménez is the protagonist, director and designer of the Madrid based
jewelry brand BEATRIZ PALACIOS.
Beatriz studied and graduated as a mining engineer at the Universidad Politécnica in
Madrid. After graduating, she moved to Dublin where she made contacts with young Irish
designers and had her first real experiences with the fashion industry. A year later she
moved back to Madrid and while working as an engineer, she continued to study jewelry
techniques with proffesional jewelers. After a number of years of learning she felt
confident to launch the brand in the winter of 2011.
Her inspirations have varied between different European art and design movements of the
last century or natural animal and plant forms. The brand develops two collections each
year. Each one is unique in its inspiration but all are unified by a distinctive style cultivated
over a lifetime.
The aim of the brand is always to mantain a high insistence on quality, craftmanship and
design. Beatriz together with the help of a master jeweller works on the concepts and
practical completion of each individual piece in a collection. Every single piece is designed
and handcrafted in her workshop in Madrid. As both an artist and jewelry designer it is
always most important to her that she oversees every single piece and she prides herself
in this work practice.
