We are a modern jewellery studio in Trinidad and Tobago. We create contemporary, handmade, unique or limited edition designs which strive to integrate aesthetics, functionality and sustainability through the use of a wide range of materials including PET bottles, seeds, discarded paper, leather, metal and semi-precious stones. 

Gaia Couture’s underlying philosophy is to integrate sustainability with everyday elegance through our handmade jewellery pieces.

We hope that this blog will enable a dialogue with our audience to share knowledge, ideas and practices about sustainability and environmental management through our jewellery.
