When Mercedes Llamas first established Mercelles in 1980, her vision was to manufacture and offer jewelry of impeccable quality to the local market. After just a few years in the business, Mercelles had successfully created a name for itself…a name synonymous to high standards and stunning craftsmanship.

The beginning of the new millennium was a very exciting time for Mercelles, they welcomed it by facing a new challenge. Mercelles was set to enter the international jewelry arena. They began by joining the Vicenzo Oro and Oro Gemma fairs in Italy which have then become tri-annual pilgrimages and recently they added the Hong Kong trade fair to their itinerary. These expeditions have gained Mercelles a growing following in different parts of the globe. In fact, Mercelles was the recipient of the 2005 Tahiti Pearl Award, not only a testament of their unwavering passion for first-class jewelry design but also proving that once again they are successful in making their vision into a reality.

Mercelles winning piece is called Waterfalls a delicate yet fierce 18karat white gold necklace that wraps the neck with cascading diamonds, tsavorites, blue sapphires and three colors Tahitian keshi pearls. Waterfalls is a perfect example of Mercelles ingenuity and unique design. Their design inspirations come directly from nature: flowers, wildlife, the elements, and even heavenly bodies. They render their designs with a variety of materials making each piece a spectacle of sparkles and colors. Mercelles has managed to create a whimsical vision of the natural world.
