“The stone is never forced; its exact seat is crafted in the metal so that it rests secure and shines for generations.”

— Jorge Torres

More than six decades dedicated to the art of gemstone setting and fine jewelry in Chordeleg. With 65 years at the jeweler's bench, he is a living legend of the craft and a master of precision setting: he calibrates, seats, and fastens each gem onto 950 silver and 18K gold with millimeter precision, ensuring each stone catches the exact light without compromising the piece's structure.

At PLIMAN, each order that requires your technique is transferred directly and personally to your workbench. We do not intermediate the technical process: we respect the sacred time that metal and stone require to settle with the greatest dignity.

PLIMAN Commitment

PLIMAN does not have its own workshop nor does it seek to compete with the artisan workshops of Chordeleg, but to promote them. Mr. Jorge Torres maintains his workshop and his independence, receiving in the first place the fair remuneration that his 65 years of experience deserve.

The Workbench

Where Metal Comes to Life

Steel tools polished by decades of use: crimping burins, magnifying loupes, jeweler's tas, and natural wax. Chordeleg's most advanced technology remains the eyes and hands of the master.

PL1M-8RS9-8ST0 Certificate

Flor del Alba

El jade reposa sobre plata noble como el primer destello que acaricia la cordillera. Esta pieza exige un dominio absoluto del volumen y el engaste, logrando un equilibrio visual donde la materia andina se vuelve poesía inquebrantable.

Conjunto Mariposa Andina

Una captura efímera del viento materializada en plata de ley. Sus zafiros blancos, cuidadosamente engastados a mano por maestros de Chordeleg, reflejan una luz inmutable que desafía el paso del tiempo y celebra el oficio lento.

Conjunto Imperial de Zafiros

Forjado en el silencio de los Andes, esta obra resguarda el resplandor de zafiros blancos sobre un lienzo de plata de altísima pureza. Un testimonio de precisión orfebre que exige más de un mes de meticulosa consagración técnica.
