Details

Artisan Roy Vindas of Costa Rica designs and handcrafts this sterling silver pendant necklace of an eagle inspired by pre-Columbian art. The artisan says about his motivation: "I learned to appreciate pre-Columbian art thanks to my father, whose work as a goldsmith focused in that area. This piece is inspired by the jewelry made by Costa Rican natives that is exhibited in the Gold Museum of Costa Rica. The eagle is considered a symbol of power. It was believed that eagles took the soul of their prey to heaven."

Roy Vindas

"I felt the need to create designs of my own that had no direct connection to pre-Hispanic art but that depicted flora, fauna, cultural and architectural elements…."

"My father began working in silver in the 1980s when he vacationed in the town where his uncle, a jeweler, began... teaching my dad at a young age to work with different kinds of metals. I didn't know this but, years later, my father also began teaching me the art of gold and silver work.

"Father began by creating Costa Rica's traditional and pre-Hispanic designs, and I always admired the culture of our ancestors.

"In 2014, I felt the need to develop designs of my own that had no direct connection to pre-Hispanic art but that depicted flora, fauna, cultural and architectural elements with which we Costa Rican people identify.

"Ever since, silver has become my great passion. I spend a lot of time in my workshop, designing. I try to innovate with each new creation and it's incredible to be able to use my imagination to the maximum. I love expressing my ideas in a material that lets us craft wonderful things!

"Mine has been a path filled with challenges. My mother was diagnosed with cancer but, thanks to God and to the support of my friends, we got through this terrible time. This is when you realize that life can slip though our hands at any moment and we begin to truly value every second that life gives us.

"As a designer and artisan, I've found it tough to position myself in the Costa Rican market but I've been privileged to have opened doors to many places where I can show my work.

"My jewelry is crafted with eco-friendly techniques."

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
