Inspiration on How to Style Your Pieces from Coquí el Original®
The Significance of Our Coquí Tree Frog Jewelry
The coquí is a type of tree frog native to Puerto Rico. Green, brown or yellow in color, these small frogs are known for their distinct call (“ko-kee”), which can be heard all around the island and all throughout the year from dusk until dawn. The scientific name of the species is Eleutherodactylus, meaning “free toes” in Greek. It is the only frog in all of the Americas that has no tadpole stage. They go directly from egg to coquí.
Coquí spend their nights in the forest canopy and shelter, on the ground under rocks and logs, and in gardens during the day. The common coquí has a long history of cultural significance in Puerto Rico, appearing in folklore and eventually becoming a widespread symbol of the island. At Coquí el Original®, our Coquí Design immortalizes this little frog’s legacy in gorgeous sterling silver .925 and 14k yellow gold pieces.

Fine Jewelry Made from High-Quality Materials
Choose from jewelry crafted using solid 14k gold or solid sterling silver .925, and pick from matte or high-polish finishes depending on your preference. All our items come in both silver and gold options. They also come engraved with “NB-PR” (for Natalio Barquet, the designer, and Puerto Rico) and contain our Signature Diamond as a special detail. We don’t create hollow pieces, and every product comes wrapped in nice packaging with an informational certificate.
Our jewelry draws inspiration from the natural beauty and culture of Puerto Rico. That’s why Coquí el Original® is a proud sponsor of Puerto Rico Conservation Trust. This nonprofit organization promotes conservation through educational initiatives and events and manages protected natural areas throughout the island.
