Mora Calabrese, Abel Pintos' Wife, Opens Jewelry Store in Recoleta

Mora Calabrese, wife of renowned Argentine musician Abel Pintos, has stepped into the spotlight with the opening of her own jewelry store, Cala, in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires. This venture marks a significant personal achievement for Calabrese, who has long preferred a life away from the public eye.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Calabrese began studying goldsmithing, creating pieces for her close circle. Her husband, Abel Pintos, became her biggest supporter, encouraging her to turn her passion into a business. This advice was a turning point, pushing Calabrese to overcome her natural shyness and perfectionism to establish a physical presence for her work.

I don't like to expose myself. I suffer it, but I do it anyway.

After three years of successful online sales, Calabrese inaugurated her Recoleta store in April 2026. The brand name, Cala, is a shortened version of her surname. The store is the culmination of a passion passed down through generations, from her grandmother and mother to her own eldest daughter, Guillermina. Calabrese crafts all the pieces herself in a small home workshop, using 925 silver and bronze.

Calabrese believes in offering customers a complete experience, where they can touch and feel the weight and details of the jewelry, rather than just viewing it online. She understands that this entrepreneurial endeavor requires a visible face, and she has chosen to share her personal project with LA NACION, discussing her marriage, her three children, Guillermina, Agustín, and Rosario, and her life journey from her native Resistencia to Buenos Aires.

It would seem to us that in this style of brand it was good to give the client the complete experience because sometimes it is not the same to see a bracelet on a website as to touch it, feel its weight and appreciate the details.
