Meet Me at... Artisan Markets

We did our first artisan market last Saturday - at the popular Things TT market in UWI St Augustine. My mom is my ever supportive assistant and I think we made a good team. It was an enjoyable experience for us and a learning one too.

We made new friends, connected with old friends, networked and built partnerships, talked about our jewellery, engaged people on sustainability and environmental management AND made our first sales.

The interest in Gaia Couture, what we do  was very positive. I am very inspired by this to continue to create unique jewellery that incorporates elements of sustainability through the materials we use, the inspiration, the designs or the environmental awareness raising activities.

Lots of new ideas, projects and developments are in the pipeline and you'll find out more about them in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned!

While the big countries talk, the small island states suffer

“To deny climate change is to procrastinate while the earth sinks; it is to deny a truth we have just lived. It is to mock thousands of my compatriots who in a few hours without a roof over their heads will watch the night descend on Dominica, in fear of sudden mudslides . . . and what the next hurricane may bring. My fellow-leaders, there is no more time for conversation. There is little time left for action. While the big countries talk, the small island nations suffer. We need action and we need it now.” The Honourable Roosevelt Skerrit, Prime Minister of Dominica at the 72nd session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 23, 2017 Hurricane Maria The hurricane season in the North Atlantic Basin starts on June 1 and ends on November 30 each year. A week before the official start of the hurricane season the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a forecast which predicted an 'above average' hurricane season for 2017 .

Reef Rhapsody 2017 Collection

Gaia Couture’s underlying philosophy is to integrate sustainability with everyday elegance through our handmade, contemporary and unique jewellery pieces. The jewellery is inspired by nature – the colours, textures, shapes and motifs are all inspired by the beautiful natural environment.

Coral reefs are found in more than 100 countries around the world in tropic and subtropic oceans. Trinidad and Tobago also have coral reefs, the largest and most popular being Buccoo Reef in Tobago. Coral reefs support Tobago’s two main economic activities - tourism and fishing through enabling both jobs and food. They also protect the coastline from the damaging effects of ocean swells and tropical storms. They provide a habitat and shelter for many marine spec...

The Circular Economy

The circular economy model promotes sustainable production and consumption through closed-loop production which keep resources in play for as long as possible. It can address climate change issues, resource depletion and waste and it can also encourage economic growth and job creation. Maximizing recycling and re-use of materials is an important principle of the circular economy, however, it is not a panacea.

The United Nations also advocates for the circular economy model through its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG 12: Sustainable consumption and production is about promoting resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and providing access to basic services, green and decent jobs and a better quality of life for all. Sustainable consumption and production aims at “d...
