Our Andean Collections
Handmade pieces made from eco-friendly materials
- Tagua nuts are traditionally used to make jewelry and other crafts. Hard as an elephant’s tusk but biodegradable when discarded. Not even one leaf of the tree is harmed in harvesting tagua and in one year, the Tagua tree produces a quantity of vegetable ivory equivalent to that of one female elephant!
- Bamboo is a great alternative to wood. It grows fast and can be cut down without damaging its root system, meaning it will re-grow after it is harvested. Bamboo also captures large amounts of carbon in the environment!
- Tocte nut, or Andean walnut, is a relative of the commercial walnut eaten around the world. Tocte nut trees are now endangered because their wood is prized for carving and making furniture. Finding uses for the actual nut provides the incentive to re-plant tocte nut trees and protect them once they bear fruit.
