This line of eco friendly accessories and jewelry is designed in New York/Ecuador and handmade in Ecuador from our artisan's community. Our elegant, versatile and above all eco-friendly jewelry is handcrafted using seeds that have been used for hundreds of years in the communities in South America. Using these seeds which include tagua (vegetable ivory), acai, pambil, among others, helps to improve the social economies of our craftsmen (generating jobs) and reducing the cutting down of rainforest, thereby preserving the environment. Accessories like belts, hats, and bags are handmade with natural materials, using sustainable and fair trade practices.
