I messaged the owner prior to my visit to Costa Rica and the communication from the outset was fantastic. I went into the shop ahead of Christmas and ask for them to make me a bespoke thumb ring as my xmas present. They took my measurements, ideas of what I liked and put together an incredible thumb ring with the personalisation of Pura Vida engraving inside, along with their logo.
I love all their jewellery and it’s a shop I 100% recommend for not only their unique and elegant jewellery, but also for the high class customer service and great pricing.
Thank you again and for the quick turnaround of making my ring. Making this memory of Costa Rica has now become a daily reminder on my thumb.

We first discovered this beautiful jewelry shop in 2022 I purchased a beautiful abalone ring. I've worn it daily and I'm not gentle on jewlery, this ring has held up phenomenally. Strong, sturdy and beautiful. I recently visited and put in a special oder request let me tell you they did not disappoint. It's the most beautiful creation I've seen. 2 hand picked, hand made ring with my kids birth stones. I will be ordering or shopping from them anytime i need a new piece! Thank you so much!

One of the most beautiful jewelry stores in the country. Upon entering, one is amazed at all the beauties there are, apart from being beautiful, they are of excellent quality, it is difficult to resist.
The owners, who are also the creators of all the pieces, are very kind and knowledgeable people.
When you enter you don't want to leave.
Recommended 💯 🙏🥳

We come here every time we stay near Tamarindo. The owner is a true artisan / silversmith. Their pieces are beautiful, durable, and unique (like the fossil starfish). I have two rings that I bought years ago and recently took one of them in for adjusting and they were able to take care of it that same day free of charge. Customer service is top notch along with the craftsmanship! Your money is well spent here supporting local family business.

We purchased a ring from EK art jewelry when visiting from California in 2022. It was a wedding band for my husband that he recently lost. Through email we were able to replace it with wonderful service and quality. Sooo happy !!

Last week, I was walking around Tamarindo, looking
for a place to buy quality jewelry for my sister. I
asked locals what they recommended and they all
agreed that EK Art Jewelry is the best in town.
I decided to visit and was more than impressed
about the quality, creative design and the attention.
Laura and Guillermo were very nice and kind to me. The prices were fair and the jewelry was beautiful.
My sister loved her gift and I loved spending my time there. Ended up buying gifts for the rest of my family as well.

This great little jewelry store became my favorite in Tamarindo years back, and a return visit in March showed me its still a cool shop with even more lovely designs. They sell a whole different quality level than you sometimes find in beachy tourist towns Now, when everyone is stuck at home and unable to travel, I was sniffing around the internet for the places I'd been. So glad to see they've got so much of their stuff online! You miss out on chatting in person with the charming owners. Oh well. But I wanted to give them a shout out from New York and hope to get back there again.

Laura and Guillermo are extraordinarily gifted artisans. Their creations are beautiful, elegant and powerful in their design. As individuals, they were warm, engaging and knowledgeable. I left with a stunning rose crystal pendent that “spoke” to me and new Costa Rican friends.

Love this store! So many beautiful unusual pieces and so well made. I bought earrings and a ring and they are my “go to” pieces at home and I take them on every trip because they go with everything. Will definitely visit again the next time I’m in Tamarindo!

I found this wonderful shop during our recent stay in Tamarindo. The jewelry is absolutely stunning! They set aside a ring for me so that I could return the next day. When I purchased the first ring, I spotted a 2nd that I just couldn't get out of my head! I returned again another day and was SO happy to find it was still there. LOVE both pieces and will definitely be contacting them again to purchase more. Best shop in Tamarindo BY FAR!!!

Hi! do you know what kind of stone it has? seems like you do not have enough info to judge this place, I travel every year to Tamarindo and Ek Jewelry definitely is my favorite store to visit, I bought several pieces from usd 40 to usd 200 and quality is top level ! Owners are so kind and provide excellent info about every piece, I appreciate their work is not seen in any other place. Prices are way to fair.

The cost of rings at EK Art vary depending on the type of stone or shell and how much silver is in them. Can range from $25 to $300.
Written June 6, 2018
I am sorry that I am just seeing this question but the rings vary in price depending on the gem stones that are used and the amount of silver in each ring. They are very affordable and of excellent quality!
