Coconut Jewelry
Coconuts are everywhere in Ecuador. People love sticking straws in them to drink out the water, baking with coconut, and even using coconut milk to cook fish and shrimp! The shell's round shape makes it a bit more difficult to work with than other materials, but its strength is unmatched. All of our coconut pieces are hand-polished.
Coconut Pendants
All of these pendants were hand-carved using a jeweler's saw frame and tiny saw blades. The process begins with a single hole drilled into the material -- the saw blade is slipped through the hole and attatched to the saw blade, and carving can begin. More complex designs require additional holes to be drilled.
Each of these pendants has a small piece of wire attached for hanging on the necklace or chain of your choosing. We also hope to offer leather necklaces in the near future for stringing pendants.

Coconut Necklaces
All of these necklaces are woven with super-strong Brazilian "Fio Encerado," a polyester blend originally created for leatherwork. In addition to never fraying or unraveling, the thread also does not fade for years, literally, and regardless of how much sun or water you expose it to -- Roberto's been wearing the same Fio Encerado anklet for five years and it still hasn't worn out.
