It looks like the islands.

That endless stretch of turquoise out on the ocean side, the water broken by golden reef lines and sandbars and as far as the eyes can see.

Sneak peek of one of my statement pieces for tomorrow’s pop-up The Hale Gallery!

High-grade Kingman turquoise set wide in sterling silver, with a smaller Kingman turquoise drop that moves like water beneath it. It’s more stunning in person. Come check it out.

Sneak Peek!

I love this one!! It feels like a sliver of the ocean to me…
a smooth turquoise horizon, wrapped in sterling silver.

I’ll be bringing this piece (and a small new collection) to the Taylor Hale Gallery pop-up at Sotheby’s this Sunday, and I would love to see you there.

I’ll be at the Key Largo Artisans Market tonight from 5–8pm at Dolphins Plus Bayside, selling my handmade jewelry from Costa Vida Design. Come say hi, shop local and check out all the amazing artists and makers under the lights! 🌙✨

Every time you choose handmade, you’re choosing something real, something built from passion, not production. You’re supporting a dream, a family and a story that’s been shaped by hand, heart and intention.

In a world that moves fast and thrives on convenience, it’s easy to forget that our choices still matter.
But they do. Every dollar is a vote, a quiet but powerful way to keep creativity alive, to help small businesses grow, and to remind makers like me and other artists that what we create matters.

Handmade carries soul. You can feel it in the textures, the imperfections, and the energy that comes from something made by human hands. No factory or algorithm can replicate that kind of connection.

When you support a small business, you’re not just buying jewelry. You’re investing in someone’s dream, helping them keep creating, and adding color, beauty, and authenticity to a world that desperately needs it.

As AI and automation grow, it’s more important than ever to stand behind the makers, the dreamers and the doers who keep artistry alive. Without that human touch, everything starts to look the same.

You have power in your choices.
Every time you buy handmade, you help keep this world vibrant, soulful, and full of stories worth telling.

Here’s to the hands that create and to the hearts that choose them.
At Costa Vida Design, handmade with heart and purpose.
