Maleku Jewelry - Statement Pieces

The only thing I love more than shopping is shopping for a good cause. Maleku Jewelry lets me do just that by producing unique, beautiful jewelry and donating part of the proceeds to the Maleku Indians, an indigenous group of people in Costa Rica, with a culture and artistic heritage that is disappearing rapidly.

Maleku Jewelry designs custom-made rings, earrings, bracelets, pendants and more. Head designer, Ileana Rojas-Bennett, is a descendant of the Maleku Indians and was inspired by her mother and the colors of the rain forest, to create these delightfully artistic pieces that reflect the beauty of nature. Ileana designs the jewelry and local professional craftsmen reproduce the designs, so every piece of jewelry you purchase is authentically made.

Maleku Jewelry has a little something for every type of jewelry lover. There are statement pieces made with large, gorgeous stones in different shapes, colors and sizes. Ileana used this design for bracelets, necklaces (statement necklaces are a HUGE trend this fall!) and rings. For those not afraid to stand out, there are multi-strand necklaces and exquisite pendants. Perfect for gift-giving, these pieces also come in beautifully crafted sets. I particularly love the chandelier styled earrings that clearly represent the rich culture and beauty of the Maleku culture. These eye-catching earrings are perfect for dressing up outfits but just as well-suited for pairing with jeans and a tank.
