About

In 2017, Pili Restrepo made a set of charms. To begin, there was the ‘Pili Chili’ and the ‘Pili Mano’, worn either as earrings or strung on a necklace, almost like a talisman. Pili was inspired by her late father, whose own charms she would take out of the safe to admire and play with whenever she visited home. Since then, those signature charms have branched into a namesake fine jewelry line.

Born in Colombia, raised in Spain, schooled in Italy, and living between New York City and Miami, Restrepo is constantly  inspired by her travels across the globe, her interest in disciplines like architecture and ballet, and her desire to bring the power of nature’s most beautiful materials into our everyday lives. 

Making a Difference

In addition to honoring her father, Pili conceived her line with a clear purpose in mind: To create pieces that empower the wearer and raise awareness about the damaging effects of artisanal gold mining. Each piece is handmade using either mercury-free or recycled gold, ethically-sourced semi-precious and precious stones, and colorful enamel. She’s also committed to giving back. Sales from each collection support a different cause, with proceeds benefiting global organizations such as LETO Campaign, Planned Parenthood, Pure Earth, and other groups that have proven track records of transforming lives for the better.

Pili Restrepo Jewelry has been featured in numerous publications including: Vogue US, Vogue Mexico and Latinoamerica, Elle, Financial Times, National Jeweler, Into The Gloss, Man Repeller, Women’s Wear Daily, and Studio Dore, among others.
