Oxidized Sterling Silver Leaf Earrings from Costa Rica 'Dark Twisting Leaves' Item ID: 2671777852

It's important that we raise the consciousness in the young people, because I live with the hope that we can eliminate all the pollution on the Earth and leave our children with a beautiful and healthy place to live.

I'm Arlyng Mantilla. I was born in Venezuela, however I've lived in Costa Rica for many years. Being far from my country hasn't been easy but I was enchanted by the people here from the moment I met them.

When I was quite young, I discovered my passion for art through dance. I think it flows in my veins. Then little by little, I began falling in love with silverwork. I began researching the art and fell more deeply in love as I learned more and more, and my imagination took flight. I began crafting my first small designs and people liked them.

Every new design brings its own challenge. It's fascinating to face them. As time went by, I gained experience and this is reflected in my jewelry.

Here, I present my current collection, all inspired by the beauty of nature. Each piece of jewelry has a unique touch and all are handcrafted with much dedication. I hope you like my work.
