How It All Started
My journey began with a big trip across Central and South America.
I traveled through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua – exploring surf towns, volcanoes, and jungles.
I connected with locals and travelers, learned Spanish, surfed, danced – I was living in paradise.
After about four months, the money ran out.
Every shekel I had saved was gone.
I found myself alone in a small café on a quiet street in León, Nicaragua, searching for flights back home.
It felt like my journey was ending before it had truly begun.
But deep down – I knew this wasn’t the end.
The Moment That Changed Everything
Outside the café, I saw a local artist (Eddie) crafting and selling handmade jewelry.
As someone who appreciates art, I was captivated by his pieces.
Curious, I asked how he made them.
“I’ll teach you – but only if you sell what you make, in Spanish,” he said.
I barely knew a few words, but I agreed.
I made my first bracelet quite easily – pale blue, like the faded shores of the Pacific Ocean.
I approached two local women with confidence – one short sentence, a small smile – 10 córdobas – sold!
Right then I knew: I didn’t need a plane ticket.
I needed to keep creating.
From That Moment – A Way of Life
From that day on, everything changed.
I fell in love with the craft, the colors, and the connection with people.
For over a year, I traveled through Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, and Colombia – creating and selling jewelry to tourists, locals, and boutique stores.
It didn’t just fund my journey – it connected me deeply to the Latin culture.
Today, I design jewelry using high-end materials – silver, gold, pearls, gemstones, and diamonds – pieces that reflect freedom, strength, and meaning.
And Today?
Through iDO Piece, I bring that spirit home.
Every piece I create carries a real experience – a story within it.
It begins in the magical towns of Central America – and continues with every person who wears it.
Because this isn’t just jewelry. It’s a reminder.
Of small moments that change lives.
Of the power to try, to say I-DO – and to turn dreams into reality.
