Our Story

🌴 Celebrating the Soul of Belize, Honoring the Spirit of the Garifuna πŸ‡§πŸ‡Ώ

At Be Belize Company, we don’t just craft jewelry β€” we craft ancestral memory, wrapped in gold, silver, and soul. ✨ Each piece is handmade with love, inspired by the vibrant rhythm of Belizean culture and the indomitable strength of the Garifuna people. πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΏπŸ₯

πŸ’› Shaka Magarada Higinio β€” born in Dangriga, Belize, fluent in his Garifuna roots β€” is the heartbeat behind our designs. Though he’s spent many years in the U.S., his spirit never left the shores of Belize. He returns often β€” to walk barefoot in sacred soil, drum with the elders, and breathe life into the jewelry that connects past to future.

πŸ’ Stephanie Satow Higinio β€” a third-generation jeweler from Cleveland, Ohio β€” fell in love with Belize over a decade ago. Now a proud part-time resident of San Pedro, she channels the colors of coral reefs, the whispers of Maya temples, and the laughter of Caribbean sunsets into every Belize bangle and custom pendant she creates. With over 20 years of experience in jewelry design, repair, and restoration, Stephanie brings precision, soul, and elegance to every piece. 🌊🌺

Together, they’re building a forever home in Belize β€” and a forever brand for the diaspora. ✊🏾 Through Be Belize Company, Shaka and Stephanie share a mission: to help you wear your roots with pride and pass your story on in precious metal. Whether you’re Garifuna, Afro-Latina, African American, Caribbean, or simply connected to the soul of the sea β€” this is your jewelry. πŸ›οΈ
