Origin

In the quiet burn of a summer spent on Bim's shoreline, weekends wrapped in sunlight and sisterhood; an unspoken bond formed over sand, sea and soft cackles. Something shifted in me - I saw a new kind of beauty. Not just worn, but lived in. At the time my hands were shaping metal, beads and chord into meaning. Jewelry that told stories. 

And somewhere between doing the macarena infront of a rum shop and rummaging a fruit vendors stall for fresh fruit and taking photos - I fell inlove with an idea. What if my love for adornment met water? What if my jewelry could kiss the skin in waves... This idea was the birth of Blanco Blvd. A love letter to island girls, to romantic silhouettes and second-skin maximalists. A tribute to the summer I met bikinis. A love letter to palm trees, coconuts and mangoes. This brand is an offering of my soul in forms of love and beauty and opulent skinwear; an offering of sun-drenched stories yet to be written. 

Ode to the inspiration. Ode to the women. Ode to the love that has flowed through the years of summers since.

Blanco Blvd. A name. A brand. A culmination of an island jewlist & designer.
