Secret of the Dunes
Launched on 1 November 2025
The “Secret of the Dunes” collection draws from Sudan’s Meroe Pyramids and Italy’s refined elegance. Handmade mindful diamonds in olive, white, and champagne tones, set in 24k gold-plated bronze, echo Nubia’s wind-carved dunes. Luxe leathers with wild textures marry nature and sophistication. These wearable sculptures fuse African soul with Italian rigor, offering timeless luxury for those who value the beauty of cultural fusion.
About the Artisan
Judith Tello
Colombia
My jewelry reflects global influences drawn from experiences in Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Inspired by ancient African trade beads from Venice, Holland, and Bohemia, my work has evolved into contemporary designs. Using gold, silver, gems, leather, and pearls, each piece embodies my essence and the world’s diverse beauty.
Inside the Collection
The Journey
Developed through a collaboration between JOT Judith Tello and Octa Jewels, the collection took shape over two years of research and design. It draws inspiration from the Nubian desert, combining modern techniques with sustainable materials to create jewelry that connects art, culture, and ethical craftsmanship.
