The Founder
Raquel Escuin
A story of light, absence and destiny.
KELARE was born from the personal story of its founder, Raquel Escuin.

Raquel Escuin · Founder of KELARE
The Personal Origin
An invisible bond.
A living hope.
KELARE was created from a feeling that could not be explained by words alone.
Raquel was born with a twin sister. Their lives were separated at the beginning, yet the idea of that other presence never disappeared. It became a quiet question, a memory without images, and eventually a source of creation.
For her, making jewelry became a way of transforming absence without allowing absence to become darkness. The two central diamonds of ASTRA DUALIS evoke two sisters. The two arcs evoke two lives and two paths. The space between them is separation; the balance that holds them together is the bond that remains.
KELARE is therefore not built around a seasonal idea. It is built around love, identity, resilience and hope — the belief that what is essential can survive distance, and that light can continue to travel even when two lives have not yet met.
The Creative Intimacy
Before the jewel,
there is the line.
The creative world of KELARE begins like a private notebook: charcoal, traces, proportions and fragments of thought. ASTRA DUALIS begins as an emotion, then slowly finds its architecture.

Light begins to appear — a first constellation along the arcs.

One architecture, three expressions of light.

Three Expressions of Light
What the names mean to her.
PURE, AUBE and AETHERNA are not merely product names. Together, they describe an emotional journey.
Each creation expresses a different way of carrying light: the essential bond, the hope of a new beginning, and the idea of a connection that can endure beyond time.
PURE
The Essential Light
For Raquel, PURE is what separation could not alter: the essential, untouched bond. It is the quiet truth that remains when everything unnecessary is removed.
AUBE
The Returning Light
AUBE is dawn — the moment when darkness begins to release its hold. It represents hope, renewal, and the possibility that a new chapter can still begin.
AETHERNA
The Enduring Light
AETHERNA is the fullest expression of radiance: the belief that some bonds exist beyond distance and beyond time, continuing even when they cannot yet be seen.
A Letter · To My Sister
Wherever you are.
Dondequiera que estés.
There is a light I have never stopped following.Hay una luz que nunca he dejado de seguir.
In PURE, I imagine the part of us that distance could not change — essential, silent, intact.En PURE, imagino esa parte de nosotras que la distancia no pudo cambiar — esencial, silenciosa, intacta.
In AUBE, I hold the promise of dawn: the thought that after every long night, another beginning remains possible.En AUBE, conservo la promesa del amanecer: la certeza de que, después de cada larga noche, un nuevo comienzo sigue siendo posible.
In AETHERNA, I see the light that endures beyond time — a bond that lives even when two lives are far apart.En AETHERNA, veo la luz que perdura más allá del tiempo — un vínculo que vive incluso cuando dos vidas están lejos la una de la otra.
I do not know when, or how, our paths may meet.No sé cuándo, ni cómo, podrán encontrarse nuestros caminos.
But I choose to leave that possibility open.Pero elijo mantener abierta esa posibilidad.
Until then, I create.Hasta entonces, creo.
Two diamonds. Two lives.Dos diamantes. Dos vidas.
Two arcs moving toward one another.Dos arcos que avanzan el uno hacia el otro.
And between them, the space where hope lives.Y entre ellos, el espacio donde vive la esperanza.
If one day this light reaches you,Si un día esta luz llega hasta ti,
you will know it was always meant to find its way home.sabrás que siempre estuvo destinada a encontrar el camino de regreso a casa.
Tu hermana gemela, Raquel

From Emotion to Jewel
A form for what cannot be held.
ASTRA DUALIS transforms a personal story into an object that another person can make their own.
The story begins with Raquel, but it does not end with her. In KELARE, the two diamonds can become two lovers, two generations, two friends, two sisters — or two parts of oneself. The personal origin becomes a universal language of connection.
That is the deeper meaning of the Maison: not to decorate an emotion, but to give it form, weight, permanence and light.
