I love accessories, especially a statement piece and Grenadian jewelry designer Tambran by Tamara has proven that we can step outside the box with accessories and still create a bold, sophisticated, elegant look wearing Caribbean-made jewelry.
Earrings and bracelets are usually my preferred accessories. I also like rings, but it has been a life-long struggle to find rings I like in my size. Surprisingly, I found this abstract ‘Stick Ring’ (that’s what I call it) at Spice Isle Jewelry in Spiceland Mall a few months ago and finally decided to get it. It was part of my Christmas gift to myself and the inspiration behind this post.
Spice Isle Jewelry has been around for a long time and I have always loved their gold and silver bracelets. Some of the designs reflect Grenadian/Caribbean life and make great gifts especially for your loved ones who live abroad. While many of us ladies won’t mind locally made beaded or wooden jewelry, there are times we like wearing something in silver or gold.
I have been on a search for Caribbean-made jewelry for quite a while and with the help of my fellow Trinidadian Blogger Nelly B, I was able to find a few Caribbean jewelers that you should check out in 2020.
