William Everett, Casa de Campo’s very own fine jeweller and long time resident, has added an exciting new line to his already impressive jewelry collection. The new line, simply called Caña, has been inspired by the lush sugarcane fields surrounding La Romana. This unique jewelry clearly resembles sugarcane and has been beautifully sculpted to represent the contours and instantly recognisable shape of the sugarcane. The line currently includes bracelets, cuff links and earrings in sterling silver and 18K gold, and would make an interesting and entirely original addition to any outfit.

Sugarcane, or Caña de Azucar, was first introduced to the Americas in 1943 by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the island of Hispaniola, now known as the Dominican Republic. In colonial times, sugar was a major product of trade between the New World and Europe. Nowadays the production and processing of sugarcane plays a major role in the economy of La Romana as well as the whole of the Dominican Republic. It is refreshing to see jewellery inspired by something taken for granted in our everyday lives and is a welcome reminder of the natural beauty of sugarcane in the fields.
Everett Designs can be found in Altos de Chavon, next door to the main art gallery, where it has been part of the Altos community since 1979. Everett’s beautiful and handcrafted jewelry continues to enchant both new and old customers with its unique and alluring charm.

In addition to the new Caña collection, currently available are the lines ‘Gems and Jewels,’ ‘Treasure coins’ as well as their stunning ‘Amber Collection.’ The Amber Collection The amber used in the Amber Collection originates from mines high in the Dominican mountains and is hand cut and mounted to provide a lasting reflection of Amber’s beauty and allure.

Jewels Gems and Jewels The pieces in this exquisite collection are made of stunning many-hued precious and semi-precious gems and pearls collected from exotic lands.
