Each of these unique pieces is hand-beaded by Embera Chamí women from various regions of Colombia. We collaborate directly with the artisan group Asociación de Artesanas Imaginando con las Manos based in Jardín, Antioquia. A collective of women from the Karmata Rúa Indigenous reservation who are keeping their ancestral knowledge alive through their art.

In addition to this collective, we work closely with the Siagama family in Pueblo Rico, Risaralda. Lina Siagama and her family are generational artisans whose beading skills have been passed down through the women of their family. Their creations reflect a deep respect for tradition while embracing bold, contemporary styles, transforming age-old techniques into wearable art with a vibrant, modern twist.

Every pair of earrings is meticulously crafted using needle-thread or loom techniques, a process that can take anywhere from 1 to 4+ days depending on the complexity of the design and the artisan’s pace. No two pairs are exactly alike, making each one a truly special expression of culture, identity, and creativity.
