We had the good fortune of connecting with Dayana Vargas and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dayana, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The success of my brand has been due to the fact that each design is exclusive and unique and is handmade with love. I leave my stamp on each piece I designed, which has made my brand differentiate and position itself by being a innovate proposal in jewelry, especially Religious Jewelry. This makes us the best choice for the need to have protection and looking fashionable on all occasions.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?

3 years ago I was going through a difficult emotional time, so I went to talk to a priest, who advised me to do handmade pieces as therapy to help calm my anxiety and depression. From there Fenix was born, inspired by the phoenix bird, which is reborn from the ashes and flies very high.

This has been my life and my process, I have gone through many trials, but always, by the hand of God, I have emerged victorious and strengthened from each of them.

Faith has always characterized me; perseverance, discipline, perseverance, love and passion for work, too. I want to continue perfecting my art, start generating employment through the making of my pieces, and venture into the international market, to continue bringing not only a product, but a powerful message, a voice of encouragement to those, like me, have gone through a difficult time, and show them that with faith everything is possible.

For many years I worked in the business field, in the commercial area of the private and public sectors. My studies and my work experience, ando also my dedication, perseverance, and my love and passion por work and for doing things well, have made it possible for me to move forward with my company and make it grow and make it known.

I have received many beautiful testimonies, which motivates me and fills my heart with joy and gratification.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband, is the one who motivates and supports me, and believes in me and what Fenix has become in such a short time, and he is the one who accompanies me to all the international fairs to make us known in other countries such as Mexico, USA, Venezuela and Guatemala.

My children, Nana, Mia and Matías, are my greatest gifts and my driving force to move forward. For them I strive every day to give the best of myself and grow our company that one day will be theirs. I want them to be proud of me and how persevering I have been despite any difficulties that have arisen along the way. Thank you for your support, for your patience and unconditional love.
Thankyou God, for supporting me, for saving me and for healing me through Fenix
