Jewelry made from the ocean, for the ocean

Handcrafted Lionfish Jewelry Protecting Belize’s Coral Reefs

At FINS Belize, we create jewelry with a purpose. Each piece is handcrafted from lionfish, an invasive species threatening Belize’s coral reefs.

By creating a market for lionfish products, and turning them into something beautiful and wearable, we are reducing their impact while raising awareness and protecting our ocean ecosystems.

Come dive with us in Belize to see lionfish removal first-hand and take part in our reef conservation projects.

Turning Invasive Lionfish into Purpose

Step 1: Diving for Lionfish

Every piece of FINS jewelry begins with a conservation dive. Divers remove invasive lionfish from Belize’s reef to restore balance and protect biodiversity.

Step 2: Processing the Catch

Back on shore, the lionfish are used nose-to-tail. The fins are clipped for jewelry, the meat is prepared for local meals, and the remaining parts are repurposed so nothing goes to waste.
Step 3: Preparing the Fins

The fins are carefully dried in the shade to keep their natural color, then trimmed and set into stainless steel bases, ready to be crafted into jewelry.
Step 4: Crafting the Jewelry

Every piece is handmade in Belize by skilled artisans. From braiding bracelets and anklets to assembling necklaces and earrings, each design reflects careful craftsmanship and supports reef protection.
