Reduce Plastic with Natural, Timeless Jewelry

Small Changes, Big Impact: Reducing Plastic in Our Business


Plastic pollution

Plastic pollution is everywhere—oceans, landfills, even the air we breathe. While avoiding plastic completely isn’t always possible, we believe that small, thoughtful choices can make a big difference. That’s why we’re committed to reducing plastic in our packaging and production while constantly looking for better alternatives.



Our Packaging: Less Waste, More Thoughtfulness


We use kraft boxes whenever possible instead of plastic packaging. These are not just recyclable—they add a special touch to your order. Plus, every purchase comes with a reusable drawstring bag, making it easy to store and carry your favorite pieces without adding to landfill waste.

Materials That Matter


We’re mindful of what goes into our jewelry. Our pieces incorporate natural elements like cotton cord and vegetable dyes, natural alternatives to synthetic materials. The metal we use for our earring hooks and posts, Alpaca Silver, is made from recycled materials, helping to reduce the need for new mining.


Sustainable Jewelry Collection





Still a Work in Progress


The reality? Some plastic use is unavoidable—at least for now. Certain protective packaging materials are still necessary to keep your jewelry safe in transit, but we’re always looking for ways to improve. Our goal is to minimize our impact while still delivering high-quality pieces you love.


Join Us in Making a Difference



Sustainability isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress. By choosing thoughtful materials and reducing waste where we can, we’re doing our part. And with every conscious choice, you are too.

The demand for animal ivory has brought the elephant close to the edge of extinction.  The Tagua Nut provides a practical alternative, since its vegetable ivory looks like its animal counterpart, is extremely hard, takes a high polish, and absorbs dyes readily.  

THE PROCESS

The seeds are set out to dry under the tropical sun for between one and three months, depending on their water content. Afterward, they are peeled, classified according to size, cut into slices, drilled, dyed and polished. Then our local artisans hand select and combine the pieces to make beautiful handmade jewelry.

ABOUT THE STORE

Our main source of inspiration as a company comes from the natural and cultural offerings of the Tropical and Mountainous Regions of South America.

We work together with local indigenous artisans to design, develop and share these high-quality natural eco friendly Tagua Jewelry with the world.
