When it comes to the music that everyone is listening to on the radio, the focus is almost always on Isla del Encanto, but today our eye is on the talent of Puerto Rican designers. Sure you have heard of the favorites of celebrities such as Jean Cintrón and Stella Nolasco, who make the dresses of various stars for the red carpet, but what you did not know is that there are several brands of jewelry, made by Puerto Ricans, that you will want to add to your collection of accessories. From those with more minimalist designs to those that will make your style stand out, discover here the brands that carry the Caribbean charm in each piece.

Luiny

From her studio in Brooklyn, New York, Luiny works with her own pieces in which she plays with shapes, ornaments and textures inspired by her travels and lifestyle. Although her style is minimalist, her designs highlight that of those who wear them and become a topic of conversation. Each of its collections is inspired by its own element - be it shells, wood or pearls - that makes them differentiate one from the other.

Karola & Co

Karola & Co. gives us the dose of color that Latinas love. In addition to her pieces being handcrafted by Puerto Rican women, she has also supported philanthropic causes such as Susan G. Komen and Salvation Army with designs dedicated to the cause. What we love about this brand is that you can choose between striking styles to use with your special outfits or more delicate ones to wear daily.

Muns

Bianca and Paola, who share the brand's name as a surname, combine their classic style to create designs focused on empowering those who wear them. Each piece is ideal to carry alone due to its unique designs but they are also simple enough to be combined with others. Made with fine materials like 14-carat gold, 18-carat gold on silver and semi-precious stones, they are so memorable that you will want to add them to your collection.

Aleishla

After years as a designer of wedding accessories, Aleishla decided to launch her jewelry brand under her own name. From her home / studio in Puerto Rico, she experiments with different materials to create her designs, which although they include various elements, maintain their minimalist essence that fits in with each person's style.

Hernán Herdez

This luxurious New York-based brand, but designed by a Puerto Rican, has caught the attention of fashion magazines and even Lady Gaga, who wore one of her earrings. Melissa Hernández makes each piece by hand with recycled materials, thus creating impactful sculptural designs. Within the collections you can find pearls, chains and different metals such as gold and silver that are easily incorporated beyond the classic styles.
