Mimo Silver designer Mercedes draws inspiration for collections from her past as a graphic designer, fashion and her travels. She designs timeless pieces that can be worn?forever.
?
Spanish born designer and co-founder Mercedes grew up and was educated in Harrow, England. She was brought up in a traditional spanish house hold and was always interested in art and fashion as a young child and spent most of her time drawing and sketching.
Fifteen years later, her family decided it was time to immigrate back to their roots and moved the family to the southern coast of Spain, were she is now based.
?
After four years of studies in art and graphic design in Malaga, she worked as a graphic designer at various local magazines and publications for 10 years, before she met the love of her life, Greg and co-founder of Mimo Silver. They set up their own media company and worked with various international companies.
?
They decided to get involved in the silver world after an inspiring trip to Mexico in 2000 and worked with local artisans who helped them design beautiful silver jewellery for their first shop in Puerto Banus, Spain.
The idea behind Mimo Silver was to offer original silver jewellery with beautiful packaging to match, at an affordable price. The word Mimo is a spanish word that means an affection, a treat, a little bit of love.? 
?
After 2 years at Marina Banus shopping centre in Puerto Banus, it was time to take total control of the design and fabrication. They traveled to Taxco, Mexico where they stayed for a month and Mercedes learned from the local artisans, and then studied in Cordoba, the capital of jewellery in Spain. In 2006 they moved the business to a larger location with an in house workshop.
?
Her designs range from bold and modern to clean and feminine and are always unique and eye catching.? They are influenced by her previous work as a graphic designer and are always made with a passion.
She uses semi precious stones like rose and smoky quartz, mother of pearls and Venetian glass beads. Mercedes designs in mind for those who enjoy interesting jewellery and are seeking to be a little different.
