Whealan's Inspiration: The Beauty of Dominica Infused into Feel-Good Jewelry

“There’s a natural mystic blowing through the air. If you listen carefully now, you will hear.” — Bob Marley and the Wailers, “Natural Mystic”

Inspiration can come from a myriad of sources - from personal experiences to the natural beauty of the world around us. For Whealan, our masterful jewelry designer, his roots in Dominica have played a significant role in shaping his creations. Did you know that Whealan is from Dominica? This Caribbean gem of an island has infused his designs with a sense of nature, purity, and organic beauty that sets his creations apart.

Emerald Pool Dominica


Dominica, often referred to as the "Nature Island of the Caribbean," is a small island nation known for its lush rainforests, pristine rivers, and stunning natural landscapes. From the towering Morne Trois Pitons National Park to the bubbling waters of the Boiling Lake, Dominica is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers alike. The island's unspoiled beauty and rich biodiversity provide endless inspiration for artists like Whealan.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Dominica is the genuine warmth and kindness of its people. Dominicans are known for their hospitality and strong sense of community, creating a welcoming atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere. This spirit of kindness and love is reflected in Whealan's creations, infusing his jewelry with a sense of positivity, meaning and goodwill.

Whealan's designs reflect the beauty and purity of Dominica's natural landscapes and his beautiful current home in St. Croix. His pieces often feature organic shapes and textures inspired by the island's flora and fauna, capturing the essence of the Caribbean’s crystal-clear waters, lush textures from the rainforest and coral reefs that surround him. Each piece exudes a sense of tranquillity and serenity, inviting wearers to connect with the natural world and find peace in its beauty.

The infusion of Dominican culture, nature, and kindness into Whealan's jewelry designs creates a unique aesthetic that resonates with people around the world. Whether it's a delicate Fan Coral shaped pendant or a bold statement Signet Ring inspired by the colors of a Caribbean sunset, Whealan's creations evoke a sense of joy and connection to something greater than ourselves.

In a fast-paced world filled with mass-produced goods, Whealan's feel-good jewelry stands out as a beacon of authenticity and beauty. By drawing inspiration from his homeland of Dominica and current home of St. Croix, Whealan has created many of our ib collections that celebrates the wonders of nature, the warmth of human connection, and the joy of creating something truly unique.


So, the next time you admire a piece of Whealan's jewelry, take a moment to appreciate the natural beauty, purity, and kindness that inspired its creation. With each piece, you carry a piece of our island spirit with you, a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us and the joy that comes from connecting with nature and each other.
