All of these pendants were hand-carved using a jeweler's saw frame and tiny saw blades. The process begins with a single hole drilled into the material -- the saw blade is slipped through the hole and attatched to the saw blade, and carving can begin. More complex designs require additional holes to be drilled.

Each of these pendants has a piece of wire attached for hanging on the necklace or chain of your choosing. We also hope to offer leather necklaces in the near future for stringing pendants.

Wooden Pendants

The wood used for these pendants came from two sources. The first is our friend's garden in the Chocó region of Colombia, where he has three trees that produce fine wood. We cut small parts of thin branches and then sliced them up into individual pendants.

We got some of the other wood here from a friend of ours who makes absolutely amazing wooden furniture in the province of Manabí along the northern coast of Ecuador. He was kind enough to not only donate his scraps, but also help us cut them up and prepare them to be carved. These pendants have also been coated in paraffin wax.

Recycled Wooden Pendants

This is "aglomerated" wood from a shop in Medellín. We traded a few carved pieces for a couple dozen triangles. It's made out of tiny pieces of wood scraps. All pieces are hand-polished.

Coconut Pendants

Coconuts are everywhere in Ecuador. People love sticking straws in them to drink out the water, baking with coconut, and even using coconut milk to cook fish and shrimp! The shell's round shape makes it a bit more difficult to work with than other materials, but its strength is unmatched. All of our pendants are hand-polished.

Tagua Pendants

Tagua, also known as vegetable ivory, has been exported from Ecuador to the Western world for well over a hundred years. It's a small coconut native to the Amazon rainforest that grows in bunches. When it's ripe it's edible, but after the coconut milk inside hardens, it bears a striking resemblance to ivory. To learn more about tagua, click here.
