This month’s trip is Costa Rica. Find out how tranquil this destination is from its tropical vibe to its endless blue skies. Plus, check out the hues Swarovski suggests to inspire your Costa Rica trip along with a DIY jewelry project for you to try.

Costa Rica

Starting as underwater volcanoes which then surfaced over thousands and thousands of years, Costa Rica has evolved into one of the largest, lush ecosystems in the world. Imagine yourself rappelling down a waterfall, relaxing in hot springs, hiking along the rolling fog of the cloud forest or exploring the pink sandy beaches of the Guanacaste coastline. Theses adventures paired with rich tropical flora and fauna and soft sunsets over crystal blue water were the incredible inspiration for these pieces – and my version of ‘paradise’.

Costa Rica – Swarovski Crystal Colors

• Peridot
• Light Turquoise
• Rose Peach
