All our jewelry is made from recycled stainless steel, finished in 18K gold PVD, a process that’s not only more environmentally friendly but also results in a durable, water-resistant, hypoallergenic, and non-tarnish finish.Every purchase from the collection is considered a donation to support marine conservation in Honduras. As a nonprofit, 100% of proceeds go directly to advancing our mission to protect marine life and support coastal communities.
Our roots are in the Moskitia territory. Our name, ilili, means 'shark' in the Miskito language as a way to honor the indigenous communities we are fortunate to collaborate with. Our headquarters in Moskitia are based in Brus Laguna, a remote coastal community surrounded by rivers, a vast coastal lagoon, the Caribbean Sea, and a dense jungle. To us, Brus Laguna embodies the culture and customs of the Miskito culture.
This half of the year, the ilili team has proudly carried our mission across continents, sharing our work, learning from others, and raising the voice of coastal communities on international platforms.
We're thrilled that our Executive Director, Gabriela Ochoa, has been included in the Lewis Pugh Foundation's #SharkChampions list, highlighting global leaders working to protect sharks and ocean health.
