Christmas is just around the corner and, if you haven’t started buying presents already, we’ve put together a list of 6 unique jewellery pieces made here on Lanzarote to give you some ideas.
The countdown is on… and if you’re an organised person then you will have already started your Christmas shopping.
Christmas is a time of giving and there’s no better feeling than your loved ones being thrilled at what you have bought them. In reality, Christmas shopping is actually quite easy. You can walk into almost any shop during December and buy gifts off the shelves, however, how many of those items are unique?
For this list of Christmas gift ideas from Lanzarote, we’ve chosen to highlight 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 6 jewellery items that would make great gifts this Christmas:
1. “RHIZOME OPEN HOOP”
These earrings are part of the Rhizome collection, which reflects Tania’s relationship with the arts of movement and nature. The design is the result of an accumulation of perceptions that she had while dancing and meeting others.
The earrings are made from recycled 930 silver. Just like nature where nothing is ever the same, these earrings are not an identical pair.

2. “LICHEN OF LANZAROTE”
Lichen, as you might have guessed, is the muse of this necklace. Abstract yet ordered chaos and resistant delicacy are the characteristics of this piece. Inspired by a walk through the volcanoes of the island, it has been handmade in the Famara workshop.
The pendant is made from recycled 930 silver with a semi-rigid polished chain in lengths of 42cm & 45cm.

4. “GOLDEN SEA URCHINS”
There is a natural symmetry in many living beings of the under water world and Sea Urchins are one of those with surprising patterns. One of nature’s beauties found its way into a creative process and has been transformed into these small studs.
The earrings are finished in high quality gold vermeil.
