Directly from the dazzling landscapes of the always-beautiful Costa Rica, Ruth Guevara's newest pendant necklace portrays the wondrous fauna that wanders the rainforest.

As a natural accent, pinewood beads adorn the accessory, whose ivory cord can be adjusted through a sliding knot.

In this dazzling long, Y-shaped necklace, dainty glass and pinewood beads in shades of turquoise, yellow and caramel beautifully come together for a stunning pop of colour. But the main attractions are the exquisite ceramic and coconut shell accents that form the gorgeous pendant, connected through petite brass beads and fixtures. This bold accessory is handcrafted by the artisans of the Domenech Foundation's Callotl Project in El Salvador, dedicated to the sustainable progress of the Costa del Sol region and the preservation of sea turtles. Through their work, they repurpose underappreciated coconut materials, once destined for firewood, into eco-conscious goods that pay homage to the region's extraordinary biodiversity.
