About the Artisan:
Our fair trade partners collaborate with skilled artisans and families in Ecuador to create jewelry and other accessories using sustainable and renewable materials from the rainforest. By using materials that can be naturally collected, like the tagua nut, we can help to preserve the local rainforest and the communities that depend on them.

The artisans handcraft the jewelry designs from natural materials that have been sustainably harvested from the rainforests and lowlands of South America. Some materials are gathered from the rainforest floor while others require a skilled farmer to climb high into the tropical canopy to harvest ripe pods. In both cases, trees are not harmed and the commercialization of these seeds helps to ensure the survival of the world's rainforests by providing an alternative income for its inhabitants in place of logging or selling their land to destructive industries.
