Right Onda Money
Onda Love Opens
These days it seems everyone is knee-deep in Colombian goodie bags.
You’ve tried to get your hands on the stuff, but didn’t have a dealer.
Now you do: Carolina Fernandez. Her new boutique, Onda Love, is chockful of Colombian accessories. The limited-edition jewelry and handbags are made exclusively for her shop.
The rings are particularly unusual: amber set in wood, topaz nestled in black horn, silver topped with uncut turquoise. And for your ears: silver flowers with emerald buds. Each handmade piece will garner a “Where did you find that?”
Even the shop itself is unique: The wallpaper is handcrafted in Colombia, floral appliques decorate the windows, a chaise lounge faces fresh orchids.
The gems vary from simple to flamboyant, as do the prices ($8 to $800, for precious stones).
But they’re sure to give you a natural high.
Onda Love, 3015 Grand Avenue, suite 157, CocoWalk, Coconut Grove (305-448-9822).
