Pura Vida launched more than 10 years ago with the goal of bettering communities of artists (and their friends and families) in Costa Rica and has since expanded to include employees in San Salvador, as well.

Wear this bold green choker over a crewneck white tee to really let the color pop.

Akola is a Ugandan jewelry brand focused on sustainability and bettering the communities of its employees.
