It began with the things that stayed with her.
The changing colours of the sea. Shells left behind by the tide. Weathered rope tied by hand.
Quiet beauty shaped by time rather than perfection. Those memories stayed with Deandra long after she left home.
Every collection begins with the materials.
A close study of colour, texture and form.
Natural gemstones and shells, chosen for the colours and textures they echo. Coconut, sea beans, murex, hand-knotted rope.
Every material is chosen because it belongs within the story of the collection, not because it follows a trend.
Born in The Bahamas and now working from her London studio, Deandra founded Exuma Blue to carry the place she came from. Not as a souvenir or a holiday memory, but as something refined enough to be worn anywhere in the world.
For years she searched for jewellery that felt like her. She found beautiful pieces inspired by Italy, Greece and Morocco, yet very little that represented The Bahamas with the same depth, respect and craftsmanship.
So she began designing for herself.
What started as a personal pursuit gradually became something shared by women looking for jewellery with presence, individuality and meaning.
Every collection remains intentionally limited. Each piece is hand-knotted in London and made to order rather than in volume.
Because every material is chosen and shaped by hand, no two pieces are ever exactly alike. Each carries the quiet variations of the natural materials it began with.
Exuma Blue isn't simply inspired by the islands of The Bahamas. It is an expression of them.
It exists because of them.
Handcrafted in London. Anchored in The Bahamas.
