Capricho in Costa Rica. Organic Sets... Exclusive to this Costa Rica shoppe is a line of Hand crafted with rare cocobolo woods, fitted carefully following grains and patterns, rich deep ocean blue emeralds, a small jade, and warm gold reminiscent of the sun and sand.

"Costa Rican Cocobolo is strong, hard, and a fairly heavy wood with natural oils that give the wood a rich satin luster without stain. It is this exotic finish, excellent working characteristics, and denseness that make it a favorite of Costa Rican artisans. The natural oils tend to waterproof the wood and make it resistant to the influence of moisture, even when left in contact with water for long periods of time. Cocobolo is twice the weight of walnut, and is so dense it will not float! It is the heaviest and darkest member of the rosewood."

The designer was also influenced by ancient artifacts, some gold and jade pieces, crafted by the indigenous people, and used a rich ocean blue emerald in a unique two part gem, to symbolize the two ocean borders, with an accent of jade mounted in a small gold setting. To add additional interest Mhaijik used some finely crafted gold rings at the base of the pendant, the neck closure and also on the ring. The ring is made of pieced together bits of cocobolo, a bold rectangle of ocean blue emerald and again the tiny jade and gold accent rings.
