Coconut Culture in the Caribbean

The hip owners of Coco Loco based out of the Virgin Islands have been making handcrafted natural jewelry for 50 years. If you visit their website , you will find an array of jewelry (earrings, necklaces, bracelets, & rings) made from three types of coconut also known as palm nuts, the Pati (pah-chee), the Dende (den-day), and the Piasava (pee-ah-sava) palm nuts. According to Coco Loco, every ring is handcrafted from one palm nut. Therefore no two rings can be exactly the
same and no two hoops can ever be a precise match. If you purchase jewelry from Coco Loco, you will truly have a one-of-a-kind piece.
