José Anta. Jeweller, gold- and silversmith. And such a joyful person. Ready to talk about anything and everything while working away at a new bedazzling piece in his studio in Calle Urgel 3, Madrid (Spain), part of a broader and very en vogue community of artists. José's spent half of his life in New York, so no need to be shy if you don't speak Spanish: just drop in and take a look around and he'll happily explain to you the trade secrets of his magic shop in perfect English. However, please DO call ahead to make sure he's in: mobile, SMS and Whatsapp +34685641141. Online preview and sales at www.etsy.com/shop/JAntaDesigns. Highly recommended.
