COLOMBIA AND ITS CREATIVE PEOPLE
Colombia is a country that has been able to preserve its traditional Spanish and indigenous cultural heritage.
The people are very creative and hand-made handicrafts and jewellery are exported to all the world.
Artisans and designers have for a long time used natural materials when making jewellery. Long before it was both fashionable and desirable this was done to preserve traditional occupations.
Colombian artisans are inspired by nature and their environment because Colombia has an array of climates and flora. It is a tropical country surrounded by mountains (LOS ANDES) and borders two oceans, the Caribbean and the Pacific. Colombia shares with Brazil the Amazon jungle region, which is one of the richest and most bio-diverse zones on the planet.
“EL ANGEL AZUL” (Designers and owners : CRISTINA BURBANO DAZA Y EDUARDO RODRIGUEZ )
“El ANGEL AZUL” ( BLUE ANGEL ) is a Colombian jewellery business which takes inspiration from both nature and from some elements of Pre-Colombian heritage in order to create exclusive and unique jewellery.
You will be able to admire below some of the pieces I am importing from “EL ANGEL AZUL”. For example, the necklaces named “ALUNA” are inspired by the moon and its different faces. Other necklaces and bracelets called “JUNGLA” have been inspired by the Colombian jungle and its bio-diversity. The “ASTROMELIA “ pieces have been inspired by the flower Astromelia which is a typical of the Andean region of Colombia.
The necklaces called “ARRECIFE” have been inspired by the Colombian reefs with their wonderful diverse colours.
Every piece of jewellery is entirely hand made. The materials used by “EL ANGEL AZUL” include cotton threads, wood, leather, steel and some metals.
The colours shown are a sample of the range.
