- SOME EXAMPLES OF COLOMBIAN JEWELLERY -

The following are some of the pieces that I sell.  The jewellery is very contemporary, exclusive and affordable.  The majority of  the jewellery is very colourful. In addition,  there are pieces in brown, and dark tones for the ladies which prefer such colours.  New pieces are arriving in mid-September.  
If you are interested in purchasing any of these pieces, or you need any information,  please send me an e-mail. I will be happy to answer.  E-mail : latinstyle72@gmail.com



















The materials.

The materials used by the artisans to make the jewellery that I sell, do not damage the environment. On the contrary, as the majority of those natural materials are cultivated and harvested in a responsible way, they preserve the eco-system  ( in particular the Colombian rainforest ).

How some of the materials for the jewellery are harvested and made .

“Tagua”
For example, some of the necklaces, bracelets and rings are made of “tagua”. “Tagua” seeds come from a palm  tree that grows wild in the Colombian rainforest.  When these seeds fall , they are collected .  “Tagua” seeds are  white, although they are dyed in order to create jewellery of  diverse colours .   “Tagua” seeds are also very durable, and  completely natural.  For the latter reasons, “tagua” is called  the vegetable ivory. It is a material that is an alternative to plastic, and a natural sustainable alternative to animal ivory.
