These earrings carry the warmth and love of our grandmothers, mothers, aunts and teachers that surround us. The trees symbolize my grandmother’s mango tree. I remember picking ripe mangos together in her garden, the air heavy with sweetness. Sometimes, I'd step on mangos that had fallen from the tree, and those memories have stayed with me. These earrings are a tribute to her and all the women in my life and to nurturing what we love. They symbolize care, growth, and the simple joys of life. Although grandma has left us, this is a reminder to stay close to those sweet ones we love.

Inspired by my daughter’s love for mermaids, these earrings capture the magic and mystery of these mythical creatures. The mermaid, a timeless symbol of transformation and duality, lives between two worlds—the land and the sea—reminding us that we, too, can navigate the unknown with grace and confidence. These earrings celebrate the beauty of being multifaceted, embracing both our dreams and reality, our wild and nurturing sides.
Crafted with love and care, these earrings are a reminder to stay connected to your inner strength and wonder. Like the mermaid, you carry the power to live in harmony between worlds.

These earrings are named Harmony. In life, there are moments when harmony is all we truly need—more than anything else.

Let these earrings be a reminder to seek and cherish harmony in all aspects of your life.

I’m completely in love with these hibiscus earrings. They effortlessly complement any outfit, whether I’m heading out during the day, dressing up for an evening occasion, or enjoying a holiday escape. For me, they symbolize purity, harmony, and gentleness—a gentle reminder to prioritize self-care.
In places like Hawaii and Tahiti, the hibiscus represents love, passion, and romantic devotion. Its vibrant colors, especially red, embody fiery emotions and vitality, making these earrings not just an accessory, but a meaningful expression of beauty and intention.
Our limited edition Pure Love Pendant was so popular we had to bring it back, this time with a more bubbly design, like a heart so full it’s ready to burst. Engrave it with a name, gift it to a loved one, or wear it to show yourself love. Either way, it’s destined to be cherished and passed down as a keepsake.

Wherever you are right now — whether in a time of beginning, ending, or transition — remember that a deep knowing is always available to you. I like to think of this deep knowing as an inner compass that helps us locate ourselves spiritually and emotionally, no matter where we happen to be. And, when the time is right, it helps us chart the way forward.
The Knowing pendant is a reminder to attune ourselves to our inner voice, recognizing our wisdom and guidance. It enables us to discern the subtle signs and synchronicities that guide us towards the life we want to create.
This piece was hand carved and replicated using an ancient technique known as lost wax casting. Each bead is threaded with attention and care.
May your inner knowing always guide you home to the serenity of your island within.

The Venus of Willendorf is one of the oldest artistic representations of women. Archeology dated this figurine over 27,000 years ago.
In honor of Mother’s Day and inspired by the Venus of Willendorf and all the great mothers that surround us, Okra and Women and Mythology have come together to develop a piece that honors ancestral wisdom and mothers: The Great Mother Pendant.
The pendant was made for those who hold the values of mothering. The ones that foster in the inner and outer world, the one that gives and protects life. To those who mother themselves or others.
This ancient figurine is made of limestone and has large breasts, wide hips, and a round belly. Her hands are on her breasts, and her vulva is exposed. She has no facial figure. It was covered with red ochre when it was first discovered in 1908. Red ochre is a pigment associated with the power of birth and ancient fertility rituals.
The Venus of Willendorf, or the Great Mother as I call her, emerged from the earth soaked in red. She lived in spaces where the birthing aspect of women was honored and where mothering was celebrated — a time when women were the umbilical cord to the soul of the earth.
What does this figurine represent in the mythical world?
In the mythical world, we would say she is vast because she carries all the babies that haven’t been born yet. Her breasts are significant because it feeds herself and all others. Her hands rest on her chest because she acts with heart.
The vulva is exposed because she is not afraid or ashamed of her creative potential. She is faceless because who knows the face of the goddess? The goddess has as many faces as there are women in this world. We are the face of the Great Mother.
The Great Mother Pendant shows fidelity to the prehistoric figurine and, consequently, to the women - we imagine - who made it.
You can gift it to yourself as a reminder of your power as a mother or someone who has nurtured you. Let us celebrate motherhood in all its diverse and possible forms.

We kindly ask for your patience and understanding. Our craftswomen take great care in creating each pendant by hand, ensuring that every detail is of the highest quality. From the moment you place your order, it will take our team 3-4 weeks to create your pendant - a testament to the time and effort put into each unique piece. We appreciate your support of our craft and look forward to delivering a beautiful and meaningful pendant to you.
In mythology, the vulva holds the symbol of the prima materia, the most primal and honest level of truth. It is a symbol of the depths and the potential of women’s creation. This is the archetypal force we must listen and follow. The wisdom of our bodies.
Symbolically, the vulva is responsive to the stimulus of the senses: music, movement, food, peace, quiet and beauty. It is related to passion and to the nutritive cycles of women. It is from where our fertile energy stems.
I invite you to connect with this creative energy to simply remember (because in some part of us we already know) What is the unique dream that you must give life to? - Maria Souza for OKRA
You will also receive a ritual written by Maria. To enhance your connection with the Vulva Pendant, you may perform this ritual while wearing the pendant so you can always keep its awareness with you when you manifest and create.
Details
Choose between two Vulva Pendant options: one with a gold-filled chain and another handmade with red beads symbolizing action, dedication, and fire. The Vulva was created by an ancient technique known as Lost Wax Casting.

This pendant serves as a canvas for your imagination, allowing you to choose both the front and back for your personal touch. The possibilities are as boundless as the open sea.
At Okra, we have been dreaming to create personalized and meaningful gifts for you and your loved ones. Utilizing the lost wax casting technique, we are able to craft one-of-a-kind fingerprint pieces that capture the unique shape and print of your loved one. This method grants you full creative freedom to design the finished piece exactly as you envision it, ensuring that you can keep a cherished reminder of your loved one close at all times.

One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting with my cousins under the banana tree in my grandmother’s backyard. Its gently waving fronds shaded us from the sun, creating a cool retreat from the midday heat. When the fruit was ripe, we’d eat it with hot buttered toast. The Banana Leaf Ring offers the same kind of sanctuary and sweetness, featuring the distinctive patterned banana leaf mounted on an adjustable band. Wear it to create your own sense of sanctuary.

Nothing captures the abundance of island life quite like the tamarin. It symbolizes abundance, producing fruit year-round and living for centuries.

Wear it when you want to open yourself to nature’s sweet offerings.

So many of my childhood summer days were spent swimming with my family in the cool waves that lapped at the white sand beaches of the island. These happy days in the sun were made even more special by the surreal beauty of the coral reefs under the surface of the water. The Coral Hoops are my tribute to these underwater treasures that stood watch over the island, forming a natural protective barrier around our sacred space. These versatile hoops are molded by hand, so each pair has imperfections that make them truly unique. Wear them every day and with everything in your closet to strengthen your boundaries and celebrate your own imperfect self.
