Welcome to paradise, where the lush jungle meets the sea and each sunset carries the calm of the coast.<\/p>\n

This month, we\u2019re sharing a postcard from one of the most vibrant places we\u2019ve ever explored. Picture shimmering sand beaches, natural hot springs, and jungle trails lined with almond trees and wild hibiscus. <\/span>Scarlet macaws soar through the sky. Howler monkeys echo from the treetops. The pace of life softens here, shaped by the tide and warmed by the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the black sands of Playa Negra on the Caribbean Coast to the healing springs of Tabac\u00f3n, this dreamy location’s biodiverse landscapes make the perfect inspiration for our travel-inspired jewelry designs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bubbles Necklace featuring Peridot, Emerald, Amazonite, Lapis lazuli, Mother of Pearl, Apatite, Sand from Isla Tortuga, Playa Manuel Antonio, Playa Negra, and Playa Playitas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Each bezel in this multi-element beach necklace<\/a> evokes a bubble rising through the sea and to the shore\u2014layered in color like ocean depths giving way to a sunlit surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

This playful, artful design features up to ten small bezels<\/a>, each filled with sand or stone from meaningful destinations. We curated a Costa Rican palette that celebrates the country\u2019s coastlines and colors:<\/span><\/p>\n

Playa Negra (Puerto Viejo)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Smooth black Caribbean sand from a peaceful beach lined with bike paths, reggae caf\u00e9s, and fresh coconuts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Playa Manuel Antonio & Playa Playitas<\/span><\/h3>\n

Warm-tone sands connect the rainforest with the ocean, and wildlife is part of the view. Both beaches are located by Manuel Antonio National Park, the countries smallest yet most frequented National Park, home to over 352 species of birds, 109 species of mammals and 100 species of reptiles and amphibians.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Isla Tortuga<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Powder-soft white sand from this duo of tropical islands \u2014 Alcatraz Island\u00a0 and Tolinga \u2014 known for boat trips, snorkeling, and crystal waters.<\/span><\/p>\n

We added stones like Amazonite, Apatite, and Mother of Pearl to mirror the coastline\u2019s shifting blues and jungle greens.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Modern Metal Bracelet<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n

The elements added to this bold Art Deco-style bracelet<\/a> were inspired by the country’s cloud forests and volcanoes. They’re a tribute to the country\u2019s powerful terrain, where volcanic energy symbolizes transformation, resilience, and the ever-evolving beauty of the natural world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
