Shells, Sharks & Shine
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.

Honduras a Shark Sanctuary Paradox
Imagine showing up to work one day and being told your line of work is now illegal and you can not do this work anymore? This is exactly what happened in 2011, when Honduras declared all of their territorial waters a shark sanctuary. Suddenly, indigenous Miskito fishers who had fished for sharks traditionally to supply the demand for dry fillets known as cecina, were no longer allowed to fish.

Guardians of the Sea Fair in Brus Laguna
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.
