This Coconut Shell and Lava Stone Diplodocus Pendant Necklace 'Diplodocus' by Independent Artisans is a unique tribute to the ancient dinosaurs. Guatemalan artisans Fernando and David hand-carve the charming image of a diplodocus within a circle of coconut shell. The cutaway portions are filled with volcanic lava stone and resin for a striking contrast, reflecting the artisans' journey to create beauty from the remnants of a volcanic eruption. The necklace is a testament to resilience and renewal, adorning the wearer on an adjustable length of black nylon cord.
Fernando and David, sons of Guatemalan artisans, grew up between Guatemala and Los Angeles before choosing to return to their homeland in search of purpose. 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.
Handcrafted from coconut shell, lava stone, and resin with a black nylon cord, this necklace weighs 0.14 oz. The adjustable cord ranges from 14.5 to 29 inches in length with a 1 mm width. The round pendant measures 0.1 inches H x 1.4 inches in diameter. This item should avoid contact with water.
