About the Artist
My name is Jockabed Soto Muniz, born in Aguadilla Puerto Rico. I have a bachelors degree in Microbiology (2000) with a medical technology certification (2007). I have been designing jewelry for ten years, at first it was a hobby and personal enjoyment, but the passion for design was so strong it turned into a professional career.
After a metals craftsmanship course with the designer Denisse Elizabeth in Puerto Rico I refined my skills and gave my passion an expression outlet. Being the daughter of a Master model maker of a jewelry industry and the niece of an art teacher I like to think I have been bestowed with generational passion and skills.
As a jeweler my approach is unconventional. My creations are made to be wearable pieces of art, unique and exquisite, no creation is alike. One of my many inspirations takes the form of puzzle pieces, I have a personal attachment to this expression, they remind me of my son and all the kids that struggle with autism. As unique as each puzzle piece is so are each and every one of these kids, it makes me proud as a mother to wear these pieces because it gives me the opportunity to educate people about autism and let them know how special each one is.
Soleil Kreations was created eight years ago with the birth of my beautiful daughter Soleil. She is my best collaborator, friend and assistant. Our logo was is an original design by herself, my princess.
