Twelve years ago we met Rafael selling his beautiful hand-carved coconut shell jewelry to tourists on the shore of Lake Atitlán. Eliza and her mom visited Rafael and his family and watched in marvel as he showed us the entire process of creating a necklace. We then worked with him to develop a line of over 100 designs. We continue to add new designs to the website every week. Suggestions? Let us know!

Each piece is approximately 1.25” in diameter. There is some variation in the tone of the natural coconut shell. There is also some variation in the metal ring. Each pendant is attached to an adjustable black necklace cord.

You can wear these 24/7, including in the shower. The tone of the coconut will evolve with exposure to moisture.
