Cornelia Lively
In 1996, I left my career in banking for a short-term sabbatical in Mexico. My plan was to stay two weeks. I stayed a year.
Unexpectedly, I had fallen in love with San Miguel de Allende, taking art and language classes, as well as traveling throughout Mexico. When a dear friend arrived to see just exactly what her former corner-office-loving colleague was doing somewhere in the middle of Mexico, everything changed. Strolling the 17th century streets through the artisan shops and markets, she turned to me and said, “You know, your paintings are alright, but you have to get focused - this jewelry, it’s incredible. Start designing.” This was the spark that brought my business to life. After collaborating with master metalsmith artisans, my jewelry business took root. After a pause of dedicated time for family and motherhood, I’ve relaunched under the name Cornelia Lively, my grandmother’s name.
