Jewelry is a competitive market in the indie world.  There are so many amazing designers out there that sometimes it can be difficult to make your mark.

There is no denying that the jewelry of Coquito Designs is gorgeous.  But it is the story behind-the-scenes that makes every necklace, bracelet and pair of earrings an item truly to be treasured, and helps Coquito Designs stand out from the crowd.

Coquito Designs started on a casual Sunday as designer Kristen Berge and her mother, Rosemarie, set out to create jewelry that was more inspiring and interesting than what they'd been seeing at local craft shows.  It didn't take long for their love of designing one-of-a-kind pieces to create a buzz, allowing them to easily expand into hosting home parties and selling to local boutiques and galleries.  It is easy to see why. 

This Hazel Necklace from Coquito Design's Alloy & Earth Collection is equally stunning & delicate, and  showcases a stunning faceted amethyst briolette, brushed sterling silver round beads and smaller faceted rondelles, all dangling from a textured curled charm.

When Kristen's mother passed away, it took a long time for Kristen to feel that familiar bliss of creation again.  But Sunday after Sunday, she drew inspiration from the memory of her mother, and continued to express her love through design.

Coquito Designs creates jewelry where every bead is like a little piece of Kristen's heart, and the spirit of love with which she and her mother first started creating together is translated into each and every piece.
