Each jewler presented a collection of three pieces with the following characteristics: the pieces were made for 70% in metal and the remaining 30% was made with alternative materials, using jewelry making techniques and finally, ergonomic shapes.
The interpretations of the theme had a wide range: from the realistic representation of fruits, flowers and seeds (Cristina Celis) to the abstract scientific concepts of the plants themselves, such as photosynthesis and vascular conducts (Cynthia Serrano, Fernanda Barba Soto) , or the use of a particular flower as a symbol of a character (Mayte Amezcua), installation of functional art, that meet a particular function (Zinna Rudman).
Alternative materials were also used like crocheted yarn (Gabriela Campo), natural seeds (Laura Elena Sánchez) and the use of coral and semiprecious stones (Alberto Dávila).
Talking about manufacturing techniques, the deployment of the craft was present in fine pieces (Eduardo Grau) etched and patinated (Raquel Bessudo), forging (Dora Corona) and enamel (Holinka Escudero).
