Costanos (Spanish word) + -an (anglo-saxon ending sound) = Costanoan (meaning: coastal people).
A group of Native American tribes that lived in the California Bay Area.
I'm Mandi, owner of The Costanoan. I'm a jewelry artist selling handmade tribal jewlery on Etsy.com.
I started my own jewelry business in May of 2012 and named it after the group of Native American Tribes that my parents desend from... The Costanoan!
I like to use alot of natural materials in my work. I create "One of a Kind" tribal jewelry pieces from Hemp Cord, Glass Beads, Shells, Feathers, Stones and Wire. I like to get alot my inspiration from trips to the California Central Coast, and digging through my grandmother's jewelry box. I also created a line of color crazy Friendship Bracelets that are popular amongst my customers.
My sister, Jackie, has recently joined me in my jewelry biz. Together we create stock, set up displays, and design everything for The Costanoan.
