After witnessing the devastation of the Pacaya Volcano eruption in 2010, they transformed loss into opportunity, creating jewelry from volcanic lava and coconut shell. Their designs combine sustainability with social responsibility, as they dedicate 15 percent of their earnings to building homes for families in rural communities. In their workshop, they collaborate with local artisans, ensuring every step — from design to finishing — reflects both artistry and compassion. Inspired by faith and driven by a desire to serve others, Fernando and David see jewelry as more than adornment. Each piece symbolizes resilience, renewal, and the belief that creativity can transform lives, offering beauty while uplifting communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: This Coconut Shell and Lava Stone Ak'ab'al Sign Pendant Necklace 'Harmony and Peace' by Fernando and David is adorned with the ancient Mayan Ak'ab'al sign, aimed at those blessed by the bat spirit.
