When I first began conceptualising Kosquelle, I knew I wanted to create a signature motif that would define the brand. It had to be something deeply rooted in the Caribbean, something that felt both personal and universal. I searched for a flower that had not yet been explored in jewellery design, one that could carry with it both beauty and meaning.
The Ixora revealed itself in the most natural way. You see it everywhere in the Caribbean—bright clusters of blooms adorning gardens, yards, and pathways. For many of us, it is tied to our earliest memories: sipping its sweet nectar as children, or noticing the way our relatives tended to it lovingly in their homes.
For Kosquelle, the Ixora is more than a flower—it is a living emblem of love, passion, and devotion. These qualities are cast into the very metals of the collection, expressed through the names of each size: Love and Passion. My hope is that the Ixora motif becomes not just a design, but a symbol of romance and connection, carrying forward a piece of Caribbean heritage in every piece.
