About Plata Textil
Plata Textil is a contemporary jewelry brand created by artisan Lilia Breyter. She began by investigating manual looms and designed one that is specially suited to work with metal thread. With refined strands of fine silver, she obtains different textures—soft as silk and resistant and permanent as the noble metal she weaves. Pre-Columbian civilizations are a constant part of her inspiration. She revisits these cultures to translate their skills into other materials, creating contemporary objects. Through Plata Textil, Breyter seeks to build a virtual bridge between these ancient techniques and the perspective and background knowledge of a 21st-century city inhabitant, blending cultural heritage with modern design.
