What an amazing unique experience while travelling to Jamaica. While enjoying this incredibly beautiful backyard, in a peaceful atmosphere, we made jewelry that is meaningful. I was able to use the shells I personally picked while walking on the beach. That’s part of what makes the experience so special. But not only that, Marie was just wonderful and creative. Would highly recommend the experience if you love art, nature, creative and unique experiences. ♥️♥️♥️

Marie is absolutely amazing! She is so creative and truly has a real talent for jewelry making. The materials that she uses are unique and stunning. The atmosphere where you work is so authentically Jamaican and serene. I am now able to return home with a memorable and beautiful keepsake of Jamaica! I would highly recommend this experience next time you are visiting Montego Bay!!! By the way, Marie is also French speaking, if you prefer… Date of experience: April 17, 2023

What a beautiful day at the Somom property, making a beautiful necklace of shells harvested from the local olages! Comfortably settled well cooled under beautiful mature fruit trees and well guided by our charming hostess, Marie, an unforgettable moment! And what a joy to leave with this beautiful necklace created by us, which will remind us all year round of this beautiful moment in Jamaica!

Thank you Marie for the great afternoon that broke up the semi-boredom that I had between sitting on the beach and eating! I actually felt like I accomplished something! The concept is brilliant. Instead of buying something at the craft market (which I still did anyways), I was able to make something beautiful and useful ! I definitely have a ton of shells at home from past trips and now I’m not scared to make more ! Thanks for teaching me a new skill! Loved your yard as well !!
