Earlier this month we published an article listing five unique Lanzarote gift ideas. The article proved popular, so we’ve put together a list of more unique gifts that are made right here on Lanzarote.
In a world dominated by “fast fashion” many are choosing to slow things down a bit, opting for local, handmade items of clothing that take time and care.
For this list of gift ideas from Lanzarote, we’ve chosen to highlight more items from Tania Candela of Famaraspirit, who creates her unique jewellery items from her home in stunning Famara.
We have chosen to highlight Tania’s items as she uses the island as inspiration when creating her unique jewellery and a large part of that inspiration comes from Lanzarote’s shores. Here is a list of 5 jewellery items that would make great gifts this Christmas:
1. “FAMARA BY NIGHT”
This intricate silver necklace shows the Famara cliffs at night with the twinkling stars above. A unique piece made in the image of Famara, in Famara.
The necklace is made from recycled silver with an oxidised finish with chain lengths of 16 inch (40cm), 18 inch (45cm) & 20 inch (50cm).

2. “FINE CORAL”
This fine silver ring is inspired by the delicate structure of Atlantic white coral. The great beauty of coral reefs is at risk of disappearing and, with it, marine biodiversity. This piece is intended to raise awareness of the importance of caring for our seas and oceans.
The ring is available in a range of sizes.

3. “GOLDEN SEA URCHIN”
There is a natural and wonderful symmetry in many creatures of the underwater world. Sea urchins are a clear example of this. In their skeleton they have amazing patterns of sacred geometry. Their fascinating shell is a jewel in its own right, which is why we have recreated it in this ring in gold vermeil with a partial high polish finish.
The ring is available in a range of sizes.

4. “CORALS”
Small, stud earrings with a structure reminiscent of the white coral that surrounds our island. The earrings are made of high quality, recycled 930 sterling silver with a matte and partially polished finish.

5. “LARGE BLACK SEA URCHIN”
The sea urchin is one of the most important sea creatures in our collection. We are fascinated by its natural symmetry, which we reproduce in our pieces. This necklace, in its large format, is the mother of the many other versions available at famaraspirit. Due to its dimensions, it is the most striking and eye-catching of them all.
The necklace is made from oxidised silver with chain lengths 18 inch (45cm) & 20 inch (50cm).
